A fresh insight into the plans of Barcelona star Fermín López when it comes to his future at club level has this weekend been provided. This comes amid confirmation that the midfielder will be going nowhere any time soon.
The name of Spanish international Fermín has returned to the forefront of the headlines across the European media over recent days.
This comes amid the understanding that the 23-year-old, amid a productive opening to the new campaign, has been earmarked as a leading transfer target by struggling Manchester United.
Amid a search for more dynamism in the attacking midfield department, the Red Devils have already made contact over a potential deal for Fermín.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media on Saturday is anything to go by, then those of a Man United persuasion need not get their hopes up when it comes to the chances of their side bringing the Spaniard in.
As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:
‘Fermín López won’t leave Barcelona anytime soon, as he’s very happy at the club and seen as a key player by everyone at the club.’
