According to the latest report from Mundo Deportivo, despite Flick's request to retain Fariñas, Girona has not abandoned its efforts to sign the player.

Reports indicate that just as negotiations seemed ready to conclude, Barcelona blocked the 20-year-old Fariñas from being transferred to Girona. De Jong's injury prompted Flick to act quickly, requesting an extended look at Fariñas during preseason. However, Girona has remained determined to secure the player.

In early July, negotiations between Barcelona and Girona made significant progress, nearly completing an agreement to sell 50% of the player's ownership for €1.5 million. However, Flick was impressed by the player's performance and wanted to see him play regularly as a potential De Jong replacement.

Girona has not given up and will monitor his performance during the preseason training camp in England, awaiting Flick's final decision. Flick has the final say on how Barcelona will address its defensive midfield during De Jong's injury absence. Barcelona is currently satisfied with its options in recent weeks.

Barcelona's sporting director Deco and Fariñas's agent, Borja García, have held multiple meetings to determine the best path forward for the player. Throughout the summer, Fariñas has trained intensively with a personal coach, hoping to be in peak condition when preseason begins.
