It is no secret that Fermín López has become a tempting player for several Premier League teams. It is not for nothing that it has been rumored that teams such as Chelsea or Manchester City are willing to explore their options to add the talented 22-year-old attacking midfielder from Huelva to their roster.
Now, not only the Blues and the Citizens are after the '16' of Barcelona. According to the sports newspaper SPORT, Manchester United is interested in hiring the services of Fermín López in this same summer transfer window.
United prepares a millionaire offer for Fermín López: how much money are we talking about?
The aforementioned source suggests that the Red Devils, a team with good relations with the Catalan team, are willing to transfer an economically dizzying offer to the club, above 70 million euros. In turn, on a personal level, they would be willing to practically double the player's salary to finish tempting him to join the renewed project of Rubén Amorim, who has already completed stellar signings this summer.

In this sense, faced with a proposal of such dimensions, it is not ruled out that Barcelona may accept. Although Fermín López has become one of the important pieces of Hansi Flick's team, from the Barcelona team they apparently begin to consider the idea of opening the door to players with a good reputation, as long as the offers that arrive have very high valuations.
However, it should not be overlooked that the importance of this alleged offer from Manchester United will depend, to a large extent, on Fermín López's own wishes to leave the Barça team this summer. An issue to which, in the past, he has been reluctant, as he is committed to the Barça sports project.

However, he has not yet managed to consolidate himself as an undisputed starter, in a demarcation where Hansi Flick contemplates Dani Olmo as an initial piece. Then, it would not be surprising that, in order to take a step forward in his sports career, Fermín López considers accepting a proposal of this type.
Just as the team from the Ciudad Condal could also accept it, which, if a sale for such a high amount is finalized, beyond being one of the most important in its history, would solve the entire problem with rule 1:1 in one fell swoop. A question that would facilitate the registration of new players, recent renewals and could even open the door to some new incorporation.

Is it worth losing such a valuable player?
However, would that compensate for the sporting loss that Fermín López's departure would entail? A player 'made in La Masia', with very interesting characteristics: a natural revulsive, physically intense, key in pressure tasks and with a great relationship with the goal. An attacking midfielder well endowed technically, very valuable, but who, for the right offer, could leave this summer.
Will he? Only the market will tell.
