Premier League focuses on Barcelona s midfield star, but the two will not leave the team this summer

When we look at the operation of Barcelona this summer, we can find that they are now facing a very typical dilemma. On the one hand, from the perspective of club management, they urgently need to obtain large amounts of funds by selling an important player in order to meet La Liga's "1:1" financial rules, so as to successfully register new players. This is why there have been rumors outside that they may sell some of the players on the team.

When veterans like Ter Stegen are difficult to be sold smoothly, some young players with market value, such as Fermin Lopez and Mark Casado, naturally became the protagonists of the rumor. They are young and have Premier League clubs interested in them, and seem to be the ideal candidate to bring considerable income to the club.

But what is interesting is that the Barcelona club's attitude is very firm, that is, these two players are "not selling". This decision reflects a club's persistence in its core philosophy when facing financial pressure. Let’s analyze it. Barcelona’s midfield competition can be said to be very fierce, and it is difficult for both Fermin and Cassado to obtain an absolute main position. But why is the club still unwilling to let them go?

Because these two players are from La Macia's youth training camp, they are filled with Barcelona's "blood" and they understand the club's passing and control style and football philosophy. Like Fermin, he can bring energy, forward and fighting spirit to the midfield that other players do not have; while Cassado is a midfielder who is more inclined to control and organization. They are the team's valuable local assets and the cornerstone of the team's future. Therefore, the Barcelona management's idea is very clear: fiscal issues need to be solved, but they cannot be at the expense of the team's "DNA" and future. They would rather find other solutions than protect the best young people in their youth training system.
