Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly interested in exploring a move for Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez, with an €80 million price point mooted about.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal and Liverpool could be interested in a move for Fermin Lopez. The Premier League giants could be an attractive destination for the 21-year-old Barcelona whizkid if his club decides to cash in, with an €80 million price point mooted in the report.
Barcelona have laid the foundation of a successful time this season under Hansi Flick on their young stars, from Marc Casado excelling in a midfield role to Cubarsi at the back. At the same time, Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal, and Pedri are crucial to their style in other areas of the pitch.
The Blaugrana are fortunate enough that their La Masia academy is churning out talents at such a a high rate, which also opens up a big market opportunity for Barcelona. Given the club’s high-profile financial crisis, many had expected the club to sell some of the top talents. However, but was not the case over the summer.
Some Premier League clubs were interested in Fermin Lopez, although Barcelona stood firm given how good he was for the Spanish team at the Olympics. In any case, the attacking midfielder’s value has soared in recent weeks, with Flick now viewing him as a key player in his plans.
Barcelona reportedly rejected a €30 million bid from Manchester United in the summer, which shows they value the player highly. In any case, some of the top Premier League clubs will see if there’s a window of opportunity in future windows, as they could enter the space again for the 21-year-old Barcelona whizkid in the next window.
Arsenal and Liverpool are interested
Arsenal and Liverpool are two high-profile sides keen on Fermin Lopez should he become available for a transfer. The report states that Barcelona will seriously consider offers in the region of €80 million that they can register as pure profit should they sell the 21-year-old. In addition, PSG are completing a three-way battle for the Barcelona prospect.
The Gunners and the Reds carry the profile of clubs that any player might be interested in, and in Lopez’s case, the duo could be the best bet if he were to leave Barcelona one way or another. Hence, this transfer story might have some legs in the future, although the chances of a move in January are doubtful.
