Fermín López will sign his new contract with Barça in the next few hours

FC Barcelona remains firm in its plan to 'protect' the young stars of the club's present and future. While they advance in folders such as those of Pedri and Lamine Yamal, the Catalans resolve others in the middle. One of these would belong to Fermín López, who will sign his new contract with the Barcelona club this week.

The Andalusian has established himself as one of the most important promises of the first team and a mirror for the 'pearls' of La Masia. After 'breaking in' to Xavi Hernández's squad during the last season, where he scored 11 goals and gave an assist in 41 games, and his definitive 'explosion' in the summer, where he participated in the Eurocup and the Olympic Games, the player 'hard-earned' the extension and improvement of his link with the institution.

Fermin will sign until 2029

Currently, the midfielder's commitment expires on June 30, 2027, but after stamping his signature on the new deal during the next few hours, it will be extended until 2029. This is reported by 'Relevo', where they add that the normal thing is that the act will take place this Thursday, October 31.

In this way, at Can Barça they reaffirm their confidence in the El Campillo player with his third renewal in two years. The footballer has made a place for himself in the first team with a lot of sweat and effort and, today, he is an important piece for Hansi Flick, who gave him the starting position in the two 'finals' against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, in addition to being one of the 'pillars' of the club's future.
