Fermín sparks interest from Premier League giants with record-breaking offers

Offers to sign Fermin Lopez, the Barcelona midfielder, have multiplied amid the significant development in his technical level and his striking brilliance during recent matches, after his performances and goals caught the eye of numerous clubs around the world, turning his clash against Atletico Madrid into a fresh launching point in the race to sign him.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Barcelona have received up to four offers from Premier League clubs in recent days, each worth more than the bids that landed at the Catalan club last summer.

Chelsea went in with a 70 million euro offer back then. Barcelona and sporting director Deco did not even bother to reply, believing the figure fell well short of the player's true worth.

The picture looks very different now. According to the newspaper, four prominent English clubs have already tabled offers worth up to 100 million euros for the midfielder.

Chelsea and Manchester United lead the chase for Fermín López, with two further clubs also keen to take him to the Premier League.

Barcelona hold one crucial card in all this: Fermín López wants to stay. He is committed to developing and winning in the Catalan club's shirt, and he brushes off every approach, no matter how big the fee or how grand the club making it.

The board know exactly how far the El Cambio product has come. That is why they are getting ready to sit down with his representatives again in the coming weeks to rework his contract and reflect his new standing in the squad.

Fermín signed his current deal in January 2026, complete with a 500 million euro release clause and running until 2031. Even so, that contract already looks dated next to the leap the midfielder has made on the pitch.
