A new problem is looming in Barça's locker room, as Fermín López has lost patience after realizing he has no options to be a starter. The young Spanish midfielder was one of the main figures in the club's last campaign when Xavi was still the first team's coach. However, the situation has changed drastically, and this doesn't seem to have pleased Fermín López, who still hasn't found his best form.
Certainly, Fermín hasn't been able to meet the expectations Hansi Flick had for him after his prominence in Barça's preseason. Moreover, the German coach believes his level is far below what he can offer, so he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the midfield. Therefore, Fermín is frustrated by not having minutes to turn the situation around and has made a drastic decision: he is considering leaving Barça.
Fierce Competition in the Team
According to the latest information circulating around the club, Fermín believes his low level is due to not having the necessary continuity and regularity. In fact, the young midfielder considers that without the coach's confidence, it's practically impossible for him to demonstrate his skills and find himself again. To this, it must be added that Fermín knew perfectly well that the competition this year would be much higher than in the last season, especially due to the addition of Dani Olmo.
Additionally, the recovery of Gavi and Frenkie De Jong has complicated his situation, making Fermín one of Hansi Flick's last alternatives. The young talent from La Masia believed he could have an important place in the line-ups and play regularly, but his performances haven't been solid enough. Luck, evidently, hasn't been on his side, and his role in Hansi Flick's Barça is secondary.
Drastic Decision
With this in mind, Fermín has had to settle for playing as a substitute, coming in during the final minutes and, on many occasions, in solved or inconsequential matches. Therefore, Fermín has come to the conclusion that the best thing he can do right now is say farewell to Barça and find a place where he can gain more prominence. The latest reports from "El Nacional" claim that Fermín has already spoken with his agent to start looking for a team where he can be promised a prominent role.
The aforementioned outlet adds that the midfielder plans to request Laporta and Deco to allow him to pack his bags this summer.Fermín has many clubs in Europe interested in signing him, which are also willing to make significant investments to bring him to their ranks.
