Manchester United and Chelsea Open Transfer Channel for Barcelona Players

Barcelona has already generated over €31 million this summer from the sales of Paulo Victor, Alex Valle, and Pablo Torre, including release clauses for other players. This represents a net profit of €6 million from transfers this summer.

Despite registration issues still plaguing Barcelona, ​​reports surface weekly about potential key players being sold in the Catalan capital.

Fermin López is a frequent candidate, with his name appearing alongside Marc Casado, Ronald Araujo, and Andreas Christensen, and Barcelona is likely to accept a sale.

According to Caught Offside, this is partly due to a split in the Barcelona board regarding López. Some are eager to keep him, while others believe now is the right time to cash in on the 22-year-old, as he is likely to receive a lucrative offer.

Manchester United and Chelsea Remain Interested

Lopez has rejected offers from Arsenal and Saudi Arabia in recent months, while the same media reports indicate Chelsea and Manchester United remain interested. The London club, for their part, is willing to offer €60 million for the Spain international.

Firmín López is eager to stay at Barcelona

However, Barcelona may need some encouragement from López to keep him there. So far, Fermin has remained steadfast in his desire to continue and succeed at Barcelona, ​​and it has undoubtedly helped that head coach Hansi Flick is delighted to have him join the club and values ​​his contribution.

What are Lopez’s prospects next season?

Firmín López will once again compete for a spot in Barcelona’s attacking midfield. Dani Olmo, a de facto starter last season, will likely play as a number 10 again. With Marcus Rashford as an option on the left, Rafinha could also see more playing time in midfield, with Pedri and Gavi also playing in that position. However, Fermin has earned more playing time and performed better in midfield than both Olmo and Gavi last season.
