After having lost Iñigo Martínez, who left on the side of Al Nassr to everyone's surprise, FC Barcelona continues to be asked a few days before the resumption of the championship. Among them, Fermin Lopez (22) was approached by clubs this summer and especially in the Premier League. 12th man in the mind of Hansi Flick, the midfielder is important in the Blaugrana squad (8 goals and 10 assists in 46 matches in all competitions in the past season) and his profile appeals to several stables.
Aston Villa, Emery's team, had made a first offer to recruit him, before Manchester United and even Chelsea, were interested in the 22 -year -old attacking midfielder. The Red Devils were also ready to drop an offer of 70 million euros, which corresponded to the sum expected by Catalan leaders. After a successful first season under the orders of Hansi Flick, the Spanish international therefore has the choice for the rest of his career and made a decision.
Fermín López is confident for next season
For Barça, finalizing this sale around 70 million euros would allow the club to do a lot of good to finance. But German coach Hansi Flick has already explained to his management that he was counting on him, despite competition reinforced by the arrival of Marcus Rashford. And according to information from Sporthis intentions are to stay in Barcelona, at least for next season. Despite the offers received, the Andalusia native is convinced that he will succeed in winning in his training club.
The Catalan daily specifies that he is only considering a departure if the Blaugrana club advises him or offers him to leave for financial or strategic reasons. But today, he believes that establishing himself within the strong Barcelona competition is a good challenge. In addition, he adapted very well to the club and the locker room, where he is very appreciated. Unless last minute surprises, Fermín López will not leave FC Barcelona and think he will end up having an important playing time next season.
