According to sources, Fermin Lopez, a midfielder for Barcelona, is interested in joining Liverpool during the summer transfer window. After losing 3-2 to Fulham over the weekend, the Reds are still 11 points ahead of Fulham at the top of the Premier League standings, continuing their incredible season.
In order for Arsenal to return to the title race from here, Liverpool would need to fall severely, because winning the crown would help the Reds draw in some of the top football players in the world. However, given that contracts for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah expire in the summer, it appears that several of their present players may leave the team after experiencing great success there.
Although rumors about Van Dijk and Salah have been growing, there have been few firm updates on Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid. And now, according to Spanish rumors, Barcelona midfielder Fermin “prefers” a move to Liverpool and has “rejected” La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool’s Interest in FermÃn López
Despite Barça’s success this season, the Spain international is unhappy with his playing time and is “among the players considering leaving in the summer if things don’t change.” While clubs from all around Europe are interested in the midfield player, Atletico Madrid has shown the most interest in the 21-year-old in recent weeks.
But according to the newspaper, “Fermin isn’t entirely convinced about a move to Atleti, and a new possibility has emerged that does seem to appeal to him substantially.” The report goes on:
Because FermÃn’s agents have already been notified by Liverpool that they are interested in signing him and may make a sizable bid. The Reds might give Barça more than 50 million euros, so money is not a problem.
The young player from Spain hasn’t played much under head coach Hansi Flick. As a result, he will be searching for alternatives if nothing changes. The 21-year-old midfielder’s movements are also being watched by numerous other European clubs. The midfielder must now decide whether to stay with the team or sign with another in June.
