PSG has reportedly set its sights on Fermín López at the request of Luis Enrique. However, Barça is not willing to let the player go for a low price. Find out the details

Paris Saint-Germain wants to continue adding players that allow them to remain one of the best teams in the world. That is why, in recent hours, Luis Enrique would have requested a signing for the midfield and the player chosen by the coach would be the midfielder of FC Barcelona Fermín López.

After an impeccable season, with a treble already in his bag and with a Club World Cup final to play, according to recent rumors, the coach would consider it a priority to sign an offensive midfielder this summer who offers new variants to the fixed core of the midfield, made up of Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabián Ruiz.

In this sense, Luis Enrique sees in the '16' of Barça, everything he is looking for to reinforce his midfield, in addition, he could ensure greater prominence to the one from El Campillo.

As expected, the fixation on Fermín is not accidental. The player from Huelva had an outstanding 2024/25 season despite not being an undisputed starter in Hansi Flick's tactical scheme. The attacking midfielder participated in 46 matches (2,039 minutes) and contributed 8 goals and 10 assists.

Barça will only consider offers that reach 80 million for Fermín

In this order of ideas, the Parisian team would already know that Barcelona is not willing to accept a penny less for the player. On the contrary, Barça would want at least 80 million euros for Fermín López.

In the azulgrana team they are aware that the player has a lot of market. However, although according to Transfermarkt his value is 50 'kilos', the blaugrana entity would not be willing to change its economic pretensions.

However, the departure of a player like Fermín, in principle, would weaken the squad, but would allow to reduce the wage bill to approach the 1/1 rule, with the intention of incorporating other players. Despite this, Flick would have already blocked any possibility of departure for the player

Fermín López does not contemplate being a substitute at Barça

Although Fermín López's desire is to make his career at Barça, the player would not be interested in remaining in a secondary role for a long time. The one from El Campillo would be seeing the 2025/26 season as a test to show Flick that he has everything to be a starter.

This is how things are in relation to the '16', who would know that for now he is one step below Dani Olmo in the fight for the attacking midfield, but who is also motivated and wants to become a fundamental piece of the culé project.

López has a contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2029 and has a termination clause of 500 million euros that can keep him shielded from clubs with economic power such as Paris Saint-Germain, unless Barça decides to sit down and negotiate for him.

PSG's interest thus joins that of Chelsea, who previously attempted to lure him away from Barça in a swap deal that included Christopher Nkunku. Manchester City and Al-Ahli have also sounded out the player, while Bayern Munich have reportedly reactivated their interest in signing him following Jamal Musiala's injury.
