According to the Spanish press, MU is preparing to make a £ 61 million offer to recruit Fermin Lopez, Barca's highly appreciated young talent.
The representative of Lopez revealed that many clubs were interested in the 21 -year -old midfielder, including big teams in Europe and from Saudi Arabia. As for Man United, they had an eye on Lopez for a while and once mentioned the possibility of bringing him to Old Trafford during the negotiation of the Marcus Rashford deal to join Barcelona as loan.
However, because the Red Devils wanted to quickly release Rashford's salary fund to get more room in the financial regulations (PSR), they did not wait to combine Lopez into the agreement.
Now, Man United is said to be planning to convince Fermin Lopez by doubling his current salary. However, the Old Trafford owner understood that the persuasion of Lopez leaving Barcelona was not easy, because this player once refused to go to the Premier League in the past.
As for Barcelona, the Catalunya club is ready to sell Fermin Lopez if they receive a reasonable price. Earlier this summer, there were suggestions worth about £ 50 million for Lopez but were rejected by Barcelona.
Coach Ruben Amorim admires Lopez's talent and wants him to increase the strength of Man United's middle line in the context of Christian Eriksen just gone.
In addition to Lopez, MU is also aggressively hunting Benjamin Sesko for attack. The Red Devils took the first official step in the Sesko deal on Wednesday, with the price offered by £ 70 million – showing that they were willing to push the total summer spending exceeding the 200 million pounds. Meanwhile, Newcastle has made a similar proposal, and now the Slovenian striker is having two major options in his hand.
