Fermin Lopez He already has a contract until 2031. Therefore, taking into account that he is already 22 years old, the Barca tied with 27. A strategic action by Barça’s sporting area because the player El Campillo (Huelva) had a contract until 2029 and was therefore controlled. In fact, he renewed in October 2024, so the club’s commitment to him was clear and recent.
However, Deco I wanted to reward his excellent progress by giving him more years and increasing his salary so that he would be satisfied, a decision absolutely supported by Hansi movie and for John Laporta. After negotiations with his agent that took place in Barcelona but also in Saudi Arabiaduring the last Spanish Super Cup played at the beginning of the month, Barça and Fermin They reached an agreement already signed. The keys to this are the following:

That season with xavi He participated in 42 games, with 11 goals and 1 assist. In the first campaign of Tap quickly He scored 8 goals and 11 assists. And this season he already has 10 goals and 11 assists.
-Clear evolution: In it Barca it is highlighted that Fermin He has improved his level of play a lot since his debut in the first team. Always being a football player with the goal on his mind, before he needed to have a more peripheral vision. In other words, sometimes he blinded himself when looking for the goal, knowing he was making a good shot, missing out on better passing options. This season he stands out for his great attempts at goal, but also for the number of assists (11 he provided). Another detail highly valued in Fermin It turns out that at first he got frustrated when he missed an opportunity and became stubborn, sometimes losing concentration and going off the tactical script. It is now appreciated that after failing an opportunity he remains calm. An example is the Slavia. He started by missing a good chance, but he didn’t get upset. He remained focused and scored the team’s first two goals. Tap quickly.
-Outdated salary: Barça renewed the El Campillo in October 2024. However, he gained a lot of weight in the cast in the eyes of Tap quickly It was clear to the club that, despite having signed just a year and a half earlier, it was time to update his salary. This is how he considered Deco Yes the door supported him. Now Fermin You will see how your record doubles and also how you have bonuses that, if met through performance, will be consolidated in the following year.

However, his desire to succeed as a Barça player overcame the financial temptation posed by the London club’s offer. And it is true that the Chelsea did not offer the 80 million that the Barca sit down to negotiate, but if Fermín had forced the machine before Deco with the “blue” offer to leave, perhaps the Chelsea I would have added the rest. But by not pressuring the player to leave even if people close to him have recommended it, the Barca stood firm and Chelsea it didn’t go any further. He was also tempted by a good sporting and economic project of Bavariabut Fermin He didn’t succumb either. The renewal until 2031 and the economic improvement that the Barca It is the fair reward for his patience and determination to succeed as a Barça player.
