FC Barcelona continues to plan its squad for next season, and does so with several uncertainties present. Luis Enrique, European champion with Paris Saint-Germain, wants to take advantage of this and has contacted one of the great culer stars. The Asturian intends to keep strengthening his team ahead of the championships that will begin next month and has identified a Barça player.
Luis Enrique comes for him
The latest reports coming from France indicate that Luis Enrique has requested a key signing. The chosen one is none other than Fermín López, who would fit perfectly into his system. He is looking in the market for an attacking midfielder to add new options to his line-ups. He sees everything he is looking for to strengthen his midfield in Barcelona's "16", making him his priority for the remainder of the transfer window.
Fermín's fixation is no coincidence. Despite not being untouchable for Flick, this past season he contributed 8 goals and 10 assists in 2,039 minutes spread over 46 matches.
Barça asks 80M for Fermín López
At just 22 years old, Fermín López has become a key piece. He doesn't shrink on big stages and always provides solutions. His progression has been meteoric and has attracted interest throughout Europe, now including PSG.
Fermín's entourage is calmly evaluating what has been received. Meanwhile, the origin of that call has had a major impact. Everything suggests that it could mark a turning point in his career. With Luis Enrique going all out, the Andalusian has been faced with a dilemma he didn't expect.
So far, Fermín López has seemed clear that he doesn't want to leave Barça. Before making a decision about his future, what the Andalusian wants is to sit down and talk with Hansi Flick to learn firsthand about the role that awaits him.
Fermín López's dream has always been to succeed at FC Barcelona, although PSG's offer would be hard to match, it seems that he would intend to reject it. Everything will depend on a conversation with Flick.
If he asks to leave, Joan Laporta is clear: he won't do it for less than 80 million euros. This is the price of Fermín López, especially for one of the main rivals in Europe.
