Sport newspaper said that MU is looking to strengthen the squad before the summer transfer window closes in 2025 and Barca 's Fermin Lopez has emerged as Ruben Amorim's top target.

Fermin Lopez is considered a great fit for the Portuguese captain's system, thanks to his versatility, goalscoring ability and rapid progress.

MU spent nearly 150 million euros this summer, but plan to add a few more positions.

The above source added that MU is willing to double the current salary that Fermin Lopez is receiving at Barca - 76,000 euros/week to 150,000 euros/week, to convince the 22-year-old player to play football at Old Trafford.

Coach Hansi Flick highly appreciates Fermin Lopez's ability, but is said to not object if Barca receives the right price.

Currently, MU has not sent any official offer to Barca about signing Fermin Lopez, however, a source from the Catalan team said that the deal could be carried out in the next few weeks.

Barca are ready to negotiate if United offer €70m for Fermin Lopez, a transfer that would help them meet La Liga's financial rules and register new players.

However, there is no guarantee that the deal will go through, as Fermin Lopez has turned down several Premier League offers, including Chelsea and Arsenal. His priority is to stay at the club and he is still happy there.
