On September 1st, Barcelona registered Fariñas with the first team. According to Mundo Deportivo, Flick values Fariñas's versatility.

According to reports, there was consensus within Barcelona that the 20-year-old Fariñas's time with the B team had run its course, and he was ready for the next stage. Initially, due to the lack of a first-team position, Barcelona considered selling him.

Girona was willing to pay €1.5 million for 50% of Fariñas's rights. However, Flick blocked the deal because he wanted to see the player in action. A month and a half later, Barcelona registered him with the first team.

Fariñas arrived at Barcelona from Villarreal in 2018. In the 2023-24 season, he was a key player for the U-19 team that won the UEFA Youth League. Fariñas plays primarily as a midfielder, but can also play as an attacking midfielder.

He can also play as a right-back and is comfortable both in midfield and in attacking midfield roles. He is known for his defensive solidity, vision, and long-range shooting ability. Off the pitch, he maintains a good relationship with Yamal and his teammates.

He will provide another option for midfield, where seven players currently compete for two positions. Rodri and Bernal will rotate as defensive midfielders, while Pedri, De Jong, Gavi, and Esparta can play in more advanced roles.
