MU are interested in Fermin Lopez. |
And the name being talked about right now is Fermin Lopez. According to journalist David Bernabeu, Manchester United has officially expressed interest and is ready to make an offer of up to more than 70 million euros to recruit the young Spanish midfielder.
Will Barca sell Fermin Lopez?
Barcelona and Fermin are both aware of the information, although there has been no concrete progress at the moment. However, the possibility of this deal happening in the coming weeks is entirely possible, because within Barca, a simmering debate is taking place: is this the right time to “sacrifice” a La Masia gem for financial purposes?
Since the beginning of the summer, rumors surrounding Fermin have been rife. The player has confirmed that there has been interest from a wealthy Saudi Arabian club, Chelsea and Arsenal.
However, Fermin refused all of them. His priority was to stay and contribute to the team he loved. However, the sports leadership was always aware that: faced with an offer "you can't refuse", Fermin's future could completely change.
MU is rushing into a major overhaul of the squad under coach Ruben Amorim, and Fermin is considered the ideal player for the Portuguese strategist's project: technical, able to move without the ball, good long-range shooting and can contribute goals from the second line. After spending nearly 150 million euros on two new players, the "Red Devils" still want to add at least 4 quality faces - Fermin is one of them.

Fermin Lopez is a promising talent of Barcelona. |
In fact, Fermin's name had appeared in negotiations involving Marcus Rashford - a deal that both sides had goodwill to discuss, but had not yet found a complete consensus. Rashford was excluded from MU's plans, and Barcelona was not in a hurry to "take over" this deal without financial clarity. However, the fact that the two clubs maintained a "friendly" relationship helped other negotiations, such as the Fermin deal, go more smoothly.
Huge salary from MU
MU intends to offer Fermin double his current salary to convince him to leave the Nou Camp. However, this is not an easy task. Fermin has turned down many offers from the Premier League because of his faith in Barcelona - where he grew up in La Masia and has just experienced a positive season, especially in the final stages of the season.
However, Barça do not rule out the possibility of selling, if the price reaches the threshold of over 70 million euros - one of the most expensive deals in the club's history. More importantly, this amount of money will help the team remove the current financial barriers, opening the opportunity to activate the 1:1 rule, allowing them to register new contracts, sign new players and even "dream" further.
Fermin is the poster boy for the success of the La Masia academy – a technical, professional player, highly regarded by Hansi Flick’s coaching staff. But in reality, Barça’s midfield is currently “overloaded”, and choosing who to let go is not easy.

Will coach Flick let Fermin Lopez leave? |
Flick may prefer to sell someone else, but if it's Fermin - and at that price - he won't object. The board also understands that selling a "favorite" will be controversial, but such financial opportunities don't always come along.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Fermin. He knows he is not guaranteed a starting spot. Competition for midfield is fierce. But Fermin also knows he played in most of the big games last season. If he stays, there is still room for growth. If he leaves, it could be the biggest financial blow of his career.
Barca are ready to open the door. United are ready to spend. It all depends on the decision of a young man - between heart and mind, between La Masia and the Premier League.
