Fermín López is going through his most delicate moment since breaking into FC Barcelona's first team. Despite his outstanding participation with the Spanish Under-21 team and in the Olympic Games, he feels stuck under the direction of the German Hansi Flick.
With 1,821 minutes played this season, barely half of the total possible, Fermín has been relegated to the bench in key matches, including the second leg of the Champions League semifinals against Inter and the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid.
Fermín López, tired of his ostracism
The Andalusian player doesn't understand his situation, especially considering his performance: 6 goals and 9 assists in the minutes he has had. His aggressive style, tactical vision, and ability to break lines make him a unique profile within the team. However, the lack of opportunities has caused growing frustration in the footballer, who is beginning to seriously consider his future away from Camp Nou.
According to El Nacional, Fermín is willing to listen to offers if his situation doesn't change in the coming weeks. FC Barcelona, aware of his market value, has priced his departure at 50 million euros. Teams from the Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga have already shown interest in the young talent.
Joan Laporta, the club's president, will not oppose his departure if the established economic conditions are met. In this sense, nobody wants Fermín to leave Barça, but if he wants to do so, it will have to be by bringing the money that has been set for his valuation.
Barça has already rejected 30M for Fermín
Manchester United has submitted a 30 million euro offer to FC Barcelona for the young Fermín López in recent days. The proposal came just hours after the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. However, the Catalan club has already rejected the offer, considering the proposal insufficient.
The idea is for Fermín to continue defending Barça's colors, but nobody is untouchable. If he wants to leave, he can do so as long as he comes with 50 million euros in hand.
