Barça receives offer for Fermín López from Al-Ahli. Should the Blaugrana club consider this millionaire proposal?
Fermín López continues to accumulate suitors in the international sports scene and has established himself as one of the most sought-after players today. Following the confirmed interest from European teams such as Bayern Munich and Chelsea, now a new suitor from outside Europe has joined.
According to the sports newspaper SPORT, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder from Huelva is generating great interest in Saudi Arabian football. Al-Ahli, a team that has interesting names such as former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and former Barça midfielder Franck Kessié, has reportedly submitted a very attractive financial proposal to acquire the services of the Blaugrana '16'.
Al-Ahli's economic offer and the situation at FC Barcelona
The aforementioned media outlet highlights that, although Barcelona considers Fermín López an important piece in their sports project, the team from the Condal City does not rule out opening the door to a possible departure this summer. The academy player would be one of the most viable options to obtain a significant economic benefit in a market in which the incorporation of Joan García is already closed and work is being done on the arrival of Nico Williams. These operations require significant economic muscle for the club.
However, the departure of the native player from El Campillo will not be forced. The idea is that any movement around Fermín López will only occur if he himself decides to take the step forward. For now, that option does not seem very likely, as it is clear that the attacking midfielder is in love with Barcelona.
Although he is not an undisputed starter, his near intention seems to be to continue as a culé, where he is an important resource for Hansi Flick.
Fermín López, a key talent in the culé attacking midfield
We will have to wait and see how the market evolves, but everything indicates that Fermín López will continue wearing the Barcelona shirt next season, fighting for a place and minutes in an attacking midfield area where the Catalan team has an 'overbooking' of stars. In that role, he shares responsibilities with players like Dani Olmo and Gavi.
Now, is Barça willing to do without an asset with the characteristics of Fermín López, intense in physical display, with goals and good technique? The Saudi offer is on the table and, although the amount has not been disclosed, it cannot be ignored that proposals from Arabia are usually economically very juicy.
In turn, the sale of an academy player like the one from Huelva would represent a net benefit for the Blaugrana coffers. However, the debate remains as to whether that economic benefit compensates for the possible sporting loss that his departure would imply.
