Barcelona has wrapped up a remarkable and eventful season—one filled with trials, key turning points, and meaningful growth. Under the leadership of new head coach Hansi Flick, the team made clear progress, with the German manager bringing stability and vision in his debut campaign.
Looking ahead, the club is preparing to bolster its squad in pursuit of major trophies next season, aiming to re-establish itself among Europe’s top contenders—a level it hasn’t consistently reached in over a decade.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain has reignited its pursuit of Barcelona’s emerging talent Fermín López, according to El Nacional. The French club has a history of trying to lure top talent from the Catalan side, having previously targeted names like Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Ronald Araújo, and Lamine Yamal. PSG has also successfully signed former Barça stars including Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Ousmane Dembélé.
Now, Fermín López is in their sights. Despite showing promise and delivering strong performances when called upon, the young midfielder hasn’t secured a regular starting role under Flick—especially since Dani Olmo’s return, which has limited Fermín’s minutes.
Fermín is known for his technical ability, eye for goal, and work ethic on both ends of the pitch. However, Flick seems to believe he isn’t yet ready for a consistent starting position. This has reportedly frustrated the player, who is eager to play a more central role.
In light of this situation, speculation about Fermín’s future has intensified. PSG’s interest is said to be driven by head coach Luis Enrique, and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reportedly preparing a €40 million offer, potentially rising to €50 million with bonuses.
Despite this, Barcelona has made its stance clear: the club has no intention of selling Fermín unless PSG pays his full €500 million release clause. The strained relationship between the two clubs in recent years further complicates any possibility of a negotiated transfer, leaving the release clause as the only potential path for PSG to acquire him.
