Unprecedented Offer from United to Barça for Fermín López: 'It's a Complete Madness'

Barça's midfielder continues to attract interest from major teams, and Manchester United want him no matter what

Fermín López has stopped being a promise to become one of FC Barcelona's most valuable pieces. Trained in the culé academy and at just 21 years old, the Spanish midfielder has experienced seasons of consecration under the direction of Xavi Hernández and Hansi Flick. It's no wonder: both have managed to fully exploit Fermín's talent, whose evolution has been one of the most positive news for Barça, which bets on him. 

With this in mind, it was evident that Fermín would eventually earn his place in the Catalan club sooner or later, both for his dedication and his talent on the field. This season has been no exception: he has managed to respond with numbers and personality, even having less prominence than in the last season.  This growth hasn't gone unnoticed, especially in the Premier League, as important clubs want to sign him as soon as possible.

Tempting Offers

According to the latest information circulating in the English media, Manchester United is willing to put 30 million euros on the table right now to take Fermín. The arrival of Ruben Amorim to the Old Trafford bench has reactivated the club's interest in young, technical, and dynamic profiles like the Barça midfielder's. In this sense, the Portuguese coach sees the young culé talent as an ideal piece for the project he wants to build at Manchester United.

This possible offer has caused an important debate in the offices of Camp Nou. On one hand, Joan Laporta and Deco are clear that Fermín is an important player for the future and don't want to part with him. But on the other hand, Barça's economic context and financial situation always force them to consider all scenarios.

No Concern

Manchester United's interest doesn't worry the higher-ups of the Catalan team, quite the opposite. Despite the noise in the market, there is calm because Fermín has made it clear where he wants to be.His contract with Barça extends until 2029 and includes a 500 million euro clause, a figure that reflects the club's absolute confidence in the young talent. 

Meanwhile, the footballer doesn't contemplate leaving Barça and believes that his stage as a culé player is just beginning. The connection with Flick, the support of the fans, and his adaptation to the club have convinced him that it's the best place for him. All this without mentioning that Manchester United's project doesn't convey guarantees to him, knowing that the recent years of the English club have been marked by notable sporting irregularity.
