Chelsea and Bayern offer €50M for Fermín. Barça and the player must make a key decision
Fermín López has established himself as one of the most promising and highly valued players of FC Barcelona. Although the player from El Campillo is not an undisputed starter in the Azulgrana team, every time he has the opportunity to play, he shows that he can be decisive, even with few minutes on the field.
This is reflected in his statistics in the 2024/25 season. Under the direction of Hansi Flick, he scored eight goals and provided 10 assists in 46 matches, establishing himself as an intense attacking midfielder with great physical display, good technique, a lot of personality, and a clear offensive vocation. And yes, with the goal in mind, the player from Huelva does not hesitate to shoot at goal when he detects the slightest space, becoming a constant resource for the team.
Chelsea and Bayern, on the lookout for Fermín López in this transfer market
Given that he is not a regular starter at Barcelona, it is not surprising that the name of Fermín López is strongly mentioned in every transfer window. The latest rumor has been published by ElNacional.cat, which assures that two giants of European football would be willing to launch for his incorporation this summer: Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
- According to this information, both teams would be prepared to put offers of no less than €50M on the table for the midfielder, whose contract with Barça extends until June 30, 2029.
Barça is not considering selling Fermín López
However, regardless of the interest he generates, everything indicates that Barça is not willing to let Fermín López leave. In the team from the Ciudad Condal, they consider him a key piece within the new generation of young players who are giving so much joy to the Azulgrana sports project.
Beyond the rumors, the '16' of the Barcelona team has made it clear on several occasions that he has no intention of leaving the team of his dreams. Recently, in an interview for RAC1, on the program Tu Diràs, the attacking midfielder was blunt:
"I'm not thinking about leaving or anything like that. I'm very happy at Barça. It was my dream and I want to stay, obviously."
In turn, regarding the competition in his position —where names like Dani Olmo, Gavi, or Pablo Torre also appear—, Fermín López pointed out that "it's very healthy and we all understand it".
Fermín López, a catalyst who wants to make the leap at Barcelona
Looking ahead to next season, it is expected that the player from Huelva can have more prominence in terms of minutes. For now, he has been seen as a luxury catalyst, but he has more than enough conditions to fight for a starting position.
The truth is that Fermín López has become one of the most exciting projects to come out of La Masia in recent years. The talented attacking midfielder is not only the present but also a future bet for a Barça that seeks to consolidate its young base of talent.
