Fermín breaks his silence and tells the whole truth about Gavi: 'What happened is that...'

Barcelona's locker room is used to living with constant rumors, some more truthful than others. The emergence of young players like Gavi and Fermín López has brought freshness, but it has also sparked external comments. In recent weeks, the idea had taken hold that their relationship was going through a difficult moment.

In culé talk shows and forums, there was even speculation that both had stopped talking to each other. It was even suggested that the tension did not come from soccer, but from personal matters related to their partners. This version quickly went viral on social media.

The rumor that made Fermín uncomfortable

The most repeated theory claimed that there were differences between the partners of both footballers, and that this personal clash had been transferred to the players. The story gained traction to the point of causing discomfort in the locker room itself. In that context, Fermín decided to publicly clarify the situation.

In statements to Mundo Deportivo, the Andalusian midfielder did not hesitate to respond forcefully. He explained that his relationship with Gavi is completely normal and that everything that has been said lacks any real basis. For him, these are simply external rumors that do not reflect the reality of daily life.

"They've said that I don't talk to Gavi and that we're distant, but that's not true," said Fermín. "We spend time together in training, we play together, and we get along well. Everything else is just comments that have no basis."

Clear words to settle the matter

The midfielder also wanted to emphasize that there is no sporting or personal problem with his teammate. "Sometimes things are made up," he explained naturally. "Gavi and I have a normal relationship, like two teammates. We help each other on the field and that's what's important."

Regarding the rumors about their partners, Fermín downplayed the matter. "Those are just things said outside and have nothing to do with us. What happens outside soccer doesn't affect our relationship. We're focused on Barça and on giving our best to the team."

His statements were received with relief within the culé environment, where there was some concern about how these comments could affect the internal dynamic.

Intact friendship between the two academy graduates

Fermín also wanted to point out that he has shared many moments with Gavi since both met at La Masia. "I've shared many moments with Gavi and he's a great teammate. It's normal that sometimes we're not seen together in everything, but that doesn't mean there's not a good relationship."

The midfielder insisted that people need to understand that both are young and have lives outside soccer. "But on the field we're friends and we're one hundred percent with Barça," he concluded.

Far from the image of distance, the truth is that both keep their friendship and commitment to the team intact. Their connection on the field remains evident, and Flick fully trusts that both will be key players this season.

With these words, Fermín seeks to put an end to the rumors that had gained traction in recent days. The footballer appeared calm, convinced that his relationship with Gavi needs no further explanation.

Neither their partners nor external comments have managed to alter a friendship that was born at La Masia. At Barça, both Fermín and Gavi are focused solely on one goal: to keep growing and take the club as high as possible.
