According to a recent report from Fichajes, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is determined to sign Barcelona’s rising star Fermin Lopez.
The outlet mentions that after a disappointing season that ended without any trophies, including a shocking elimination in the Club World Cup round of 16 against Al-Hilal, Guardiola wants big changes at the Etihad.
The former Barcelona coach has already made it clear to the club’s board that Fermin is one of his top priorities for the summer transfer window.
Admirer of the Barcelona star
Guardiola sees Fermin as the perfect player to bring fresh energy and creativity to City’s midfield.
With Kevin De Bruyne’s exit leaving a big gap in the team, the Manchester City boss believes the young Spaniard can step up and become a key part of his plans for the future.
Fermin has shown at Barcelona that he is not afraid to take responsibility and can handle the pressure of playing for a top club.
Midfield crowding could open door
It is no secret that despite the endorsement from Hansi Flick, Fermin’s future at Barcelona is uncertain, given the competition for places at the club.
This situation has caught Manchester City’s attention, and they see a real chance to swoop in and bring the talented midfielder to the Premier League.
The estimated fee for Fermin is around €50 million, and reports suggest Manchester City are ready to pay that amount if the player signals he is open to leaving Camp Nou.
Guardiola believes Fermin would fit perfectly into his system, offering energy, technical ability, and a willingness to attack.
Negotiations could start soon, with Guardiola eager to speed up talks to secure the deal before other clubs show interest.
If Flick approves the deal, Fermin could swap La Liga for the Premier League, starting a new chapter of his career under one of football’s most respected managers.
