Hansi Flick Confides in Fermín López’s Continuity at Barcelona
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has expressed his confidence that Fermín López will remain at the club, although he has not guaranteed his continuity before the end of the transfer window.
The interest of Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, has put the player’s permanence in doubt.
“At this moment, he is here. I spoke with him. I am convinced that he will stay, but in the end I don’t know what will happen. We have to wait. I am very happy when the market is closed”.

Flick has shared his opinion with Fermín, acknowledging that the player might have other thoughts. In addition, the coach emphasized the importance of the player for the team, highlighting his unique style and his ability to contribute significantly.Fermín López, 22 years old, has scored 19 goals in 89 appearances since he debuted in Barcelona’s first team in 2023.
Despite his performance, he has been a substitute due to competition in the midfield with players like Dani Olmo, Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Marc Casadó, Marc Bernal, and Raphinha.
The club could consider significant offers for Fermín due to LaLiga’s financial rules, but Flick hopes the player’s love for Barça, which he joined at age 13, will influence his decision.
Flick focuses on the team and on keeping all the players at Barcelona. He highlighted Fermín’s qualities, including his aggressiveness on the field, his ability to create space, and his ability to score goals and assist.
Barcelona will face Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, seeking their third consecutive victory in LaLiga. Fermín is expected to be part of the team, while Gavi has been ruled out due to a knee problem.
Flick hopes Gavi recovers for the match against Valencia after the international break.
