Fermín López has been one of Barça's biggest surprises in recent years due to the difficult situation he found himself in. The Spaniard was loaned to Linares and the Catalan club's intention was to sell him, since they believed he didn't have enough talent. At the last moment, Xavi Hernández appeared, his savior, who gave him the opportunity to show what he was made of.
Since that moment, Fermín López has settled into the first team and has managed to make all the fans happy with him. Currently, Barça is going through a great moment and the good things are starting to arrive. In order to raise funds, the vast majority of footballers have a price; Fermín does too.
Fermín López and his situation at Barça
Fermín López isn't an undisputed starter, but whenever he plays he does great, which is why Hansi Flick has given him minutes. In fact, he has scored goals that have been key and has brought a lot of joy to the fans. In addition, he always puts on his best face and accepts that he doesn't always have to be in the starting 11.
Barça is notably improving their finances and they've been able to afford significant signings like Joan García. In sporting terms, the club has closed out a great year and wants the next one to be even better. Fermín López has participated in all competitions, but the competition in midfield is very high.
The central midfield position is complicated at Barça; there are big names that prevent Fermín López from being able to settle in. Even so, it's also necessary to have quality reinforcements who are ready to step in when needed. Unfortunately for López's fans, several sources claim that he has a release price.
Fermín López's release price
Fermín López has attracted the interest of several clubs; some of them, among the biggest on the continent. Bayern Munich and Manchester United have been willing to offer good amounts of money for the youngster. It's claimed that Barça would consider letting their homegrown player go starting at €60 million.
Even though they claim that Fermín López may or may not have a price, it's unlikely that he'll leave Barça this summer. We'll have to keep a close eye on the Catalans so we don't miss any news during the transfer window.
