Fichajes claims that Manchester United is prepared to shell out a substantial sum of money to acquire Fermin Lopez, a gifted player from Barcelona.
Lopez got his big break last season and immediately established himself as a key member of Xavi’s Barcelona squad. He scored 11 goals in every category during his 42 appearances with the team led by the legend.
The 21-year-old’s summer, when he was a member of Spain’s Olympic and European gold medal squads, was even better. The season has started well for the young Spanish player as well. Playing with Hansi Flick, he has already assisted in setting up three goals in all competitions.
The midfielder’s ability to find space in the final third and score from around the outside of the box has drawn a lot of acclaim. He appears to be a target for United.
United is “determined to sign” Lopez, according to Fichajes, since they believe he will be “the ideal replacement” for club captain Bruno Fernandes “in the medium term.”
INEOS is probably going to help Ruben Amorim when he arrives at Old Trafford by providing him with the players he needs to transform the United squad the way he desires. This will probably result in more large expenditures.
The major Premier League teams are “planning a strong investment” in the forthcoming summer transfer window, according to the Spanish news outlet.
United is reportedly “willing to do everything” to acquire Lopez. He appears to be the player they are most interested in signing.
According to reports, they are prepared to pay over €100 million to test Barcelona’s resolve.
Barcelona has a contract with the La Masia product through 2029, but the pact also includes a €500 million release option.
Nevertheless, United is reportedly “confident” that their offer will be sufficient to negotiate with La Liga’s top team and bring the star to England.
Although Lopez has a great appearance, it is difficult to comprehend that INEOS would spend so much money on a single player, much less an attacking midfielder who might not be ready to replace Fernandes for at least two years. You shouldn’t place too much trust on the news because of this.
