Barca worried about 'Fermin Lopez incident'

Fermin Lopez is being sought after by many clubs.

According to SPORT , although no official offer has been sent, Barca has received information about interest from a number of teams in Saudi Arabia and the Premier League for the midfielder who grew up in La Masia.

Fermin's brilliance in the last two seasons cannot be overlooked. Last season, the 21-year-old played 46 games, surpassed the 2,000-minute mark, scored 8 goals and provided 10 assists - a record only surpassed by Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo in the squad. Compared to last season, he was no longer explosive in terms of scoring (11 goals), but his ability to create assists has improved significantly, showing comprehensive development.

Despite this, Barca have no plans to sell Fermin this transfer window. He is highly rated by Hansi Flick and is well-liked in the dressing room. However, midfield is currently the most crowded area under the German coach. Dani Olmo could share the attacking position with Fermin, making the competition for a starting spot a real issue.

The club understands that if Fermin receives an attractive financial offer or guarantees more regular playing time, the possibility of him proactively requesting to leave is entirely possible. In the context of Barca still having to balance finances and planning to clean up the squad, all scenarios can happen.

At the moment, the feeling is that Fermin will stay. He is a true Cule, loyal to the shirt and has never put pressure on a transfer. But with the attraction of the Premier League or multi-million dollar contracts from the Middle East, Barca understands that keeping Fermin is not only a technical problem, but also a challenge for the long-term development direction of the team.
