Team Talk reports on Pep Guardiola's interest in signing Fermin Lopez from Barcelona amid uncertainty about Lopez's future at the club. Pep Guardiola has demanded the signing of Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, as Lopez's future at Barca is uncertain. Lopez is considered a potential key player for Manchester City, to replace Kevin De Bruyne. Barcelona is willing to sell Lopez to fund their acquisition of Nico Williams from Athletic Club. Initially reported to cost around €80m, he is now suggested to be available for €50m.

90min reported that Barcelona is considering selling Fermín López due to interest from Premier League clubs, including Manchester City. The Catalan club is in a challenging financial situation and might need to sell players to comply with La Liga's financial regulations. Although Fermín López recently extended his contract with a €500 million release clause, Barcelona would be open to offers that meet a significant price. The 22-year-old midfielder, who has been a regular but mostly a backup at Barcelona, has caught the attention of Premier League giants because of his outstanding performances over the last two seasons. With the potential arrival of Nico Williams, Fermín's playing time could be further diminished, making a move to a club like Manchester City a possibility. Such a transfer could benefit both Fermín, who may be seeking more playing time, and Barcelona, who are aiming to generate income.
