The growth of football in Saudi Arabia shows no signs of stopping. Far from focusing only on signing players in the twilight of their careers, the Gulf nation has started to take notice of young talents with potential. In this context, one of the latest targets is Fermín López, midfielder for FC Barcelona. As reported by the publication Relevo, Saudi interest in the player from Huelva is serious: they are prepared to offer him an annual salary exceeding eight million euros net, a sum that far surpasses his current contract with the Catalan club.
However, the Barça leadership is not willing to let him go easily. With a contract running until June 2029, the Blaugrana direct attention to his release clause, set at 60 million euros, as the sole means to negotiate his departure. The message is clear: Fermín is part of the club's future and won't be sold at any price.
Barcelona is not considering his departure under any circumstances
The player, who is celebrating his 22nd birthday today, is having an outstanding season. He has scored six goals and provided nine assists, needing just a few minutes to surpass last year's record. His versatility has been a blessing for Hansi Flick, performing well both in the attacking midfield and in deeper positions, as well as on the flanks.
In a midfield where competition is fierce, with up to seven players vying for three spots and the upcoming arrival of Marc Bernal, Fermín López's case will be among the crucial decisions to handle in the next transfer window. Although eye-catching figures from Saudi Arabia tempt him, Barcelona is not willing to lose one of its gems.
