According to AS, at the start of the transfer window, it was indicated that Brian Fariñas would join Girona, with the only uncertainty being whether it was a loan or a permanent deal. The operation later stopped because the player intended to remain with the Barcelona first team at least for preseason. Girona is now waiting to see what occurs during Barcelona's tour of the United Kingdom, with the decision depending on Hansi Flick and Brian Fariñas after the tour.

Brian Farinas' proposed move to Girona had been almost agreed, but Barcelona paused the transfer once the seriousness of De Jong’s injury became clear. Flick wants to assess the midfielder personally during pre-season before making a final decision on whether he should remain or leave.

FC Barcelona has halted the transfer of 20-year-old Spanish central midfielder Brian Fariñas to Girona. A report from Mundo Deportivo on July 1 stated that the young Barça player was heading to Montilivi and that the transfer seemed inevitable in recent days. However, the Catalan club has now decided to withdraw from the deal, at least for the time being. Fariñas joined FC Barcelona Atlètic in July 2025, has a contract that runs until June 2028, and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €2.50m.
