However, according to Catalonia -based Sport, both Premier League giants put their full capacity to attract Fermin Lopez to the land of fog. This 22 -year -old can not only play in the position of the public but also take on the role of the left border. And it was the booming form in the Barcelona shirt that made him an extremely hot name on the transfer market.
The huge offer worth £ 70 million has caused controversy within the Barcelona leadership: A faction supports the sale to balance the finance, the other side is determined to keep the talent of bright price. In the end, coach Hansi Flick directly voiced his request to hold Fermin. The number of 89 matches, 19 goals and 11 assists in Barcelona shirt is a clear evidence for the growing influence.
Fermin, who has had 2 caps of the Spanish team, is expected to play a key role in Flick's plan this season. However, Sport revealed that the decision to refuse £ 70 million means that Flick cannot spend strongly to upgrade the squad in the recent transfer window.
In the opposite direction, Man United spent more than £ 200 million to rebuild the attack with the trio Benjamin Sesko, Cunha and Mbeumo. Chelsea even spent nearly £ 250 million, including the Joao Pedro deal worth 60 million, but also earned a huge source of money from selling many stars.
Barcelona started La Liga 2025/26 with a 3-0 victory on the Mallorca field and will continue the journey with a trip to Levante this weekend.
