In recent weeks, rumors have circulated on a distance between Fermín and Gavi within Barça, two longtime friends trained in Andalusia and then gathered at the Masia. In an exclusive interview with Mundo Deportivothe Barça midfielder wanted to clarify the situation: “Gavi has been my friend since I was 12 years old. I have known him since my visit to Betis, but since I joined the Masia, he is my friend, as my brother ”. The speculation of a rupture, according to him, have no foundation, especially since the two young players have shared a relationship woven since their adolescence.
Fermín insisted that this link remains intact despite the corridor noises. “We have shared a lot. People are still speculating, it won't change, but he remains my friend. We have a good relationship, as always, and I have nothing to add ”he added. Both spent by the Betis training center before joining Barcelona, the two circles were only a year apart, Fermín having been born in 2003 and Gavi in 2004. What explains, as the Spanish prodigy points out, that this fraternal complicity still continues today despite rumors.
