Musiala's shocking injury against PSG disrupted Bayern's plans. This would have caused the Bavarian team to reactivate their interest in Fermín López

The last hours have not been easy for Bayern Munich, because in addition to suffering elimination in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup (2-0) against Paris Saint-Germain, where their player Jamal Musiala had to leave the field with obvious signs of pain, now the worst is confirmed: the '10' suffered a fibula fracture as a result of a dislocated ankle.

The severe injury occurred in an accidental action, as Musiala went to dispute the ball and the PSG goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, when throwing himself to the ground for the ball, ended up taking the leg of the attacking midfielder. It is possible that the 10 will miss all or most of the 2025/26 season.

This would have put the FC Barcelona midfielder, Fermín López, back in the sights of the Bavarian team, whom Bayern, apparently, sounded out a few weeks ago. However, the player, apparently, would prefer to stay at Barça to try to make a place for himself in the starting XI.

Fermín López, favorite in the Bayern board

Musiala's unexpected injury has completely altered Bayern Munich's plans, who lose one of their key players in football terms. Coach Vincent Kompany, aware of the void left by the German international, has already conveyed to the board the need to incorporate a guaranteed replacement to maintain the team's competitive level.

From Germany, the spotlight is on Barça's '16', as they would consider that his dynamism, reading of the game and arrival capacity are valid characteristics to try to turn him into a player of the 'giant of Bavaria'.

Barça has Fermín shielded

The 22-year-old midfielder has a contract with Barça until June 2030. The Azulgrana team, aware of the potential of their '16', shielded him with a release clause of 500 million.

This means that any team that wants Fermín López has to sit down to negotiate with the Blaugrana sports management. In addition, recent rumors suggest that coach Hansi Flick has already blocked a possible departure of the player from Huelva.

It should be noted that other teams such as Manchester City and Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League, according to rumors, also sounded out the player, but Barcelona was not moved by this. Similarly, Chelsea would have tried to take Fermín through a 'swap' that included Christopher Nkunku, but the Catalan team would not have shown interest in this either.

However, speculations also indicate that Bayern Munich could try to get the player out of Barça by offering between 50 and 70 million euros, but the summer market will be long. Will the Bavarians present an offer of such magnitude? Only time will tell.
