Paris Saint-Germain would like to 'fish' in Barcelona. The French team would be looking for a replacement for Fabián Ruíz, and would have set their sights on Fermín López to reinforce the midfield
Paris Saint-Germain are said to be determined to sign one of FC Barcelona's young stars. Last summer, the French side offered up to 200 million euros for Lamine Yamal, but were immediately rejected by the Catalans. Later, they reportedly knocked on Pau Cubarsí's door, but were again rejected by the Catalans. However, the attempts did not stop, and now Fermín López would be the new protagonist of Parisian interest.
Despite having had a token participation so far this season due to injuries, the midfielder is set to be an important piece in Hansi Flick's new project. His 'explosion' at the Paris Olympic Games with the Spanish under-21 team put him in the 'shop window', but Can Barça are not willing to part with one of their most valuable assets for the future.
Luis Enrique, Fermin's great supporter
However, the Parc des Princes offices would be studying the possibility of presenting an attractive offer to the Catalans to acquire the services of the Andalusian, who is very much to Luis Enrique's liking. The Asturian coach would be Fermin's main supporter in the capital club, considering that he would fit perfectly in his PSG, so the French would be willing to make an effort to please their coach.
This is reported in 'El Nacional.cat', where they assure that the main reason that has led the former Barça coach to consider signing López is the possible departure of Fabián Ruíz. The player from Los Palacios has established himself as one of the most outstanding players in his position since Euro 2024, where he was fundamental for the title won by Spain. Several clubs across the continent would be following in his footsteps, so the French would want to cover their backs with the arrival of the Barça '16'.
The Premier League is also keeping an eye on López
The competition for the 21-year-old midfielder is fierce, as the Premier League has also knocked on his door. Manchester United and Tottenham also tried to sign him in the last transfer market, but the Catalan club has remained firm in its position: Fermín is not for sale. Hansi Flick holds him in high regard and considers him an 'untouchable', although a multi-million-dollar offer could put his continued presence at the club in doubt.
