Manchester United are reportedly keen on securing the services of FC Barcelona’s rising star, Fermin Lopez.
According to Spanish publication SPORT, the Premier League side is ready to submit a bid worth over €70 million.
New manager Ruben Amorim is pushing for fresh faces before the transfer window shuts. Fermin has quickly become one of his main targets.
Man United set sights on Fermin Lopez
Barcelona are aware of United’s interest. No official bid has landed yet, but talks could heat up in the coming weeks.
The Spanish giants had expected big-money offers to roll in late this summer, and now, they’re arriving.
Fermin, a La Masia graduate, has impressed with his sharp growth, goal threat, and ability to play multiple roles. His style fits perfectly into Amorim’s system.
United have already spent close to €150 million in this window. But they aren’t done. The club hopes to sign at least four more players.
To sweeten the deal, United are ready to double Fermin’s current salary.
The 22-year-old has turned down interest from Chelsea and Arsenal in the past. He’s also said no to Saudi Arabia, choosing to stay at Barça.
Fermin and his team have always made their priorities clear; he wants to succeed at Barcelona.
Why Barcelona could cash in on Fermin Lopez?
Even so, Barça may be tempted, according to The Sun. A €70 million offer would be one of their biggest-ever sales. It could instantly ease their financial strain.
More importantly, it would unlock the 1:1 La Liga rule, allowing the club to register new signings and extend contracts. Now, all eyes are on United. The ball is in their court.
