Barcelona open contract talks with 20-year-old Fermin Lopez

Sports report

Fermín López Marín is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for La Liga club Barcelona. Fermín is an energetic, right-footed central midfielder, who also has the versatility to play as an attacking midfielder and winger. He's technically proficient, has great movement off the ball, adept at exploiting space, and is productive with goals and assists.

Barcelona is still looking to make more signings this transfer window, but if the start to this season has shown anything, it is that first and foremost they must ensure they have their young talents tied up. According to Fabrizio Romano, the latest youngster Barcelona want to sign to a long-term deal is 20-year-old midfielder Fermin Lopez. One of the stars of the preseason for Barcelona, his hard-working and daring play has caught the eye, none more so than with his screamer against Real Madrid.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona have begun talks with Lopez’s camp, less than 24 hours after he made his official first-team debut against Villarreal. A cameo appearance during the closing minutes, Fermin Lopez looked perfectly at home on a La Liga pitch. Pressing aggressively, he also got a shot off, drawing a fine save from Filip Jorgensen. Lopez spent last season on loan at Logrones in the third division, scoring 12 goals and assisting four times.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has been with Barça since 2016 when he joined the La Masia setup from the Real Betis youth academy. After making good progression with the club’s ranks, Lopez was loaned out to Linares last season where he made a solid impression as well, racking up 12 goals and four assists in 40 matches. Upon returning, Lopez was drafted into Xavi’s plans for the pre-season and the youngster made the most of his opportunity, with the standout moment being the sensational goal against Real Madrid in the US.

It is clear that Barça have been impressed by what they have seen from Lopez. And hence, it does not come as a surprise that the club are looking to secure his future, given that the youngster’s contract expires in 2024. Winning starts here!
