“We want a player who will compete with Bruno Fernandes and that player is in Barcelona. Hansi Flick don’t really like him and he wants to come to Manchester United. He will be my first signing as Man United Coach”-Barcelona star linked with staggering €100m move to Manchester United as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster squad in January
Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez, with a potential €100 million offer under consideration to enhance their squad, following Ruben Amorim’s recent appointment as head coach.
The 21-year-old Lopez has quickly become a key player for Barcelona. A La Masia product since joining in 2016 at age 13, he made his senior debut against Villarreal in August 2023. Since then, Lopez has made a significant impact with 12 goals and 3 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions. He also showcased his talent on the international stage, scoring six goals to help Spain clinch the gold at the 2024 Olympics.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes.net, Manchester United sees Lopez as a possible long-term successor to Bruno Fernandes, with Amorim reportedly enthusiastic about his potential fit at Old Trafford. Despite Lopez’s contract with Barcelona running until 2029 and a release clause set at €500 million, United hopes a substantial offer could open doors to negotiations.
Amorim’s interest in Lopez aligns with his broader strategy to cultivate a youthful, dynamic team to restore United’s competitive edge. The Portuguese coach is said to be targeting high-potential players who bring versatility and ambition, aiming to steer United back to the top.
