Following a remarkable season in which Barcelona claimed a domestic treble—La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup—the club is now focused on reinforcing both its sporting structure and financial position as it sets its sights on a return to European glory.
As part of these efforts, the club’s leadership has explored the possibility of transferring key players to generate funds for new signings. However, according to the Spanish outlet El Nacional, the Barcelona locker room has taken a firm stand on one matter: Fermín López is not to be sold. Despite lucrative offers of over €60 million from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, the squad is unanimous in its desire to keep the young midfielder.
Star players including Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, and Araujo view Fermín as vital to the current team and the club’s long-term vision. His significant contributions, physicality, and presence on the field have earned him the respect of teammates and fans alike.
Internally, Fermín is not only considered a key player but also a representative of Barcelona’s identity and future. Leading players have made it clear to the club’s hierarchy that letting him go during such a pivotal moment in his career would be a major setback.
Lamine Yamal, one of Fermín’s closest allies, has openly supported his continued role at the club. Pedri and Gavi have similarly voiced their desire to grow alongside him.
Club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco have acknowledged these sentiments and have made it clear that Fermín will not be sold. They understand that letting him go could damage the credibility of Hansi Flick’s project and spark discontent among fans.
Despite receiving significant offers, the club has not entertained any negotiations—not for €60 million, nor for €70 million. Fermín, at just 22, is viewed as a cornerstone of Barcelona’s future alongside Yamal, Pedri, and Gavi.
Now, with full support from the squad, coaching staff, and Fermín himself, the idea of a transfer has been decisively ruled out.
