Fermin Lopez refuses to leave Barcelona despite La Liga champions open to summer sale due to financial strain

<p>According to <a href="https://archive.ph/IOGAc" target="_blank"><em>SPORT</em></a>, Barcelona are reportedly open to selling Fermin this summer due to ongoing financial pressure, despite the midfielder's rise under both Xavi and Hansi Flick. Several top European clubs including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-bayern-munich-good-news-barcelona-fermin-lopez-u-turn-la-liga-major-sale/blt41691fb488b7d5b4#cscdf04a159851bcbd" target="_blank">Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and others from the Premier League</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/al-ahli-massive-fermin-lopez-offer-barcelona-under-pressure-sell/blt4e5c30c7f0c3eda5" target="_blank">Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli have shown serious interest</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Catalan giants need to make at least one big-money sale this summer to balance the books and comply with La Liga’s 1:1 rule. This would allow them to register new signings like Joan Garcia and Nico Williams, and finalise key renewals. Though Fermin is not among the top names listed for transfer, his sale would bring pure profit with a €50 million (£42m/$57m) valuation and low wages making him an attractive asset.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 22-year-old midfielder played 46 matches last season, scoring eight goals and providing 10 assists despite mostly coming off the bench. He started just three of the final five La Liga games but made them count with three goals. Flick’s confidence in him has solidified the youngster’s decision to stay.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Fermin has no plans to leave the club of his dreams. He values Flick’s support and wants to establish himself further at Barca, especially with the team’s return to the revamped Spotify Camp Nou. If nothing changes in Flick’s plans, Lopez will continue pushing for a key role in Barcelona’s new era.</p>
