Barcelona are determined to move forward with a young heart in their team, and Hansi Flick followed by Xavi Hernandez in the sense that he trusts La Masia. With that in mind, it is expected that Fermin Lopez will continue to hold a key role for the Catalans this season – despite the arrival of Dani Olmo.
Fermin has had an exceptional 12 months. He made his Barcelona debut at the start of last season, and this summer he was part of Spain's winning squads at Euro 2024 and the 2024 Olympic Games. He will hope to take that momentum into the 2024 campaign -25.
Those of Can Barca are determined to keep Fermin in the club. One of those is the sports director Deco, who met with the agent of the 21-year-old on Wednesday – as reported by Jijantes – to continue discussions on a new contract.

Barcelona they will hope to seal a deal soon, although that is not a priority as Fermin's current deal does not expire until 2027. However, they will be determined to secure his future even longer – and rightly so.
