Hansi Flick has a problem. A fortunate problem, many would say. He has two superlative players in the same position and one of them is not needed.
Joan Laporta has an important update in his desire to fix the wage bill of his squad.
Barça Needs a Big Sale
He has unsuccessfully triedto sell Frenkie De Jong, Ronald Araújo, Raphinha and even Lewandowski but he didn't succeed.
Barça still has a serious problem with its wage bill to comply with the rules of financial fair play. It needs to sell and make profits to balance its numbers.
He has received excellent news from the technical deparment headed by Deco. Flick is facing a problem: he has two young, excellent players who are incompatible.
Gavi and Fermín are in the Spotlight
Either one or the other. Hansi Flick is not sure about how to put the two together in the same lineup.
They are Gavi and Fermín. Gavi is 20 years old; Fermín, 21. They are two sweet treats for the market if Barça puts them for sale.
Their characteristics are similar and Hansi Flick understands that their progress cannot be stagnated on the bench. In addition, They would become a time bomb. He prefers to keep one.

Everything points to Gavi being the chosen one, but nothing has been decided. The market will decide next summer.
Fermín took advantage last season with a spectacular finale at the Olympic Games, to fill in for the injured Gavi. With Flick, he is no longer guaranteed to be a starter.
A 100-Million Business
Since Gavi has returned to normal activity, Flick has tried to prevent them from playing together. However, they did so for a few minutes yesterday against Brest.
Barça could get an amount close to 100 million euros for either of them. This would be a providential economic injection to adjust the wage bill and deal with new transfers.
Whoever is chosen to leave the club, his departure will be mourned by the blaugrana fans, who feel devotion for both. But business is business and the numbers don't add up.
