Fermín López, the young [FC Barcelona](https://www.barcablaugranes.com) midfielder, has recently drawn serious interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia. At just 21 years old, Fermín is already being targeted with lucrative offers - reportedly more than €8 million net per season - that could set him and his family up for life. The appeal for him is clear: move while still young, secure his financial future, and return to European football later at peak form if he chooses. It’s widely known that Barcelona, and indeed most if not all clubs in Europe, would not be willing or even able to compete with the Saudi League in terms of salary.
Barcelona, for their part, aren’t blind to his rising value. The club has no intention of letting him go for less than €60 million, aware that Fermín has become one of the most marketable players on the squad. Despite the financial temptation, the decision to sell would only come if Barça needed funds to reinforce other parts of the team - particularly as they prioritize signing players like Luis Díaz from [Liverpool FC](https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com).
Yet, even with the Saudi millions on the table, Fermín’s commitment to Barça remains solid. His bond with the club is strong on an emotional level, and if he plays in today’s clásico, he’s expected to give everything, regardless of what the future holds.
