Barcelona starlet responds to Manchester United interest rumors – 'I'm not very interested'
The 2023-24 season has been incredibly disappointing for Barcelona, but there have been some bright sparks. One of those was Fermin Lopez, who had a phenomenal debut campaign with the first team, scoring 11 goals in all competitions despite starting very few games.

It was a dream of 12 months for Fermin, and this was amplified even when he was called to represent Spain at the Olympic Games in Paris. He is already at Euro 2024 with the senior national team, and this has led to some concerns in Barcelona. However, the player himself is not upset, as he said Relief.
“Physically I feel good. During the year I worked a lot to get to these months in perfect condition. I feel good, and I'm looking forward to playing at the Olympics.”
He also commented on the suggestions of the apprehension of Barcelona, and the comparisons with the case of Pedri from 2021.
“In the beginning, Barcelona agreed with me to go, they did not pose any problem. They know that being in the Olympic Games is incredible for any athlete. They supported me and told me to go.
“Pedri in 2021 is a case that happened, but this does not mean that it happens to everyone. He told me that it was a brutal experience, and I advise you to go and enjoy it.
Finally, Fermin addressed the recent speculation that Manchester United had submitted an offer of 30 million euros to sign him this summer, which was quickly rejected by Barcelona.
“I don't read the press, I'm not very interested. The important thing is that I want to be in Barcelona, and that I only think Barcelona. Nothing else.”
