The crucial decision of Fermín López that can change everything at Barça

With less than a week left for the registration period in LaLiga to end, for that reason, FC Barcelona continues to work against the clock to have all its players registered as soon as possible.

Barça does not rule out letting go of some player as one of the ways to resolve its situation with 'Fair Play'. In that order, Fermín López has very interesting offers and may be the 'sacrificed' one so that the Blaugrana club reaches rule 1:1.

It should be noted that the Blaugrana entity has not been able to register Szczesny, Gerard Martín and Roony Bardgjhi and is awaiting the departures of Iñaki Peña, Oriol Romeu and Héctor Fort.

However, the '16' culé has stated that he wants to stay in the Condal City, despite not being an undisputed starter. In the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como, the native of El Campillo scored twice and was awarded MVP of the match.

  "I tell the fans that I want to stay here, the truth is that it is my dream and I will stay. Let them rest assured"

Fermín López: very tough competition for the starting position in 25/26

Fermín López's start to LaLiga has been irregular. In the league debut against Mallorca at Son Moix he was a starter and played 45 minutes, then he was replaced by Dani Olmo, while on the second matchday against Levante he had to watch the match from the bench.

Without a doubt, the competition to get a place in Hansi Flick's XI is even tougher in 25/26. Firstly, because in the attacking midfielder position he has Dani Olmo as a contender. The Terrassa native already alternated with him as a starter the previous year and, although he has been a substitute against Mallorca and Levante, whenever he is physically fit he can aspire to be a starter.

In addition, the coach made it clear against Levante that Raphinha can not only play as a winger, but can also do so as an attacking midfielder, just as he did at the Ciutat de València Stadium. On this occasion, the German coach decided to lean towards Marcus Rashford as a left winger.

Due to this situation, the Huelva native must find accommodation to play, whether as a winger, attacking midfielder or inside midfielder, a little further back to help with pressure and recovery. With this, he would give Pedri a hand so that the Canary Islander can rest more often.

On the right side he has it even more complicated, since Lamine Yamal is untouchable in that position and his immediate replacement is Roony Bardghji, once his registration is resolved. Similarly, Gavi can also be direct competition for the El Campillo native.

Barça will respect Fermín's decision: What does Hansi Flick think?

Beyond the need to raise funds to, once and for all, return to rule 1:1, the Barça board will not pressure any of its players to listen to offers in the final stretch of the summer market.

In the case of Fermín López, the 22-year-old player has full control of his future to decide what suits him best. Stay to fight for a place in a team that aspires to win everything in 2026. Or, on the contrary, go to another 'top' league where he can exploit his talent as an undisputed starter.

In any case, Hansi Flick also remains very attentive to his future. The coach considers him a key piece in a rotation plan and prioritizes his permanence. However, he will understand if the '16' opts for a change of scenery in search of greater prominence. Because regularity, with the harshness of the current calendar, he will not lack as long as he performs well.

Chelsea makes a final effort for Fermín: How much do the 'blues' offer?

Although the Spanish international stated that his desire is to make history at Barça, the player also aspires to have a similar or better participation than last year; he played 46 games (22 as a starter), adding 8 goals and 10 assists in 2,039 minutes of action.

In view of the high competition in the squad, it is difficult for him to exceed this number of appearances, so making a change of scenery is not unreasonable. His career may take an unexpected turn in English football.

According to the latest information, Chelsea will offer 50 million euros to the Blaugrana club for the midfielder's transfer. The Premier League is always an attractive destination for any footballer and Enzo Maresca's team can offer him prominence.

More in a team where he can play alongside Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández, since he is a versatile midfielder with good arrival and high pressure. As things stand, everything is in Fermín's hands. The player has a contract until 2029 and is valued by the club.

However, the needs of both parties (sports in the case of the midfielder, economic on the culé side) can lead to difficult but inevitable decisions in the long term. Will the Premier League be the destination of the Huelva native?
