He's better than Fermín López and Pep Guardiola knows it: top signing, City calls Barça

Pep Guardiola is closely following Fermín's competition at Barça

The transfer market has been very intense at Can Barça, especially for some footballers like Fermín López, who have caused all kinds of rumors. After two seasons in the first team performing at a high level, the Andalusian has been on the verge of leaving FC Barcelona. The club's precarious financial situation and the need to make a major sale have put Fermín in the spotlight.

Premier League teams like Chelsea or Manchester City have tried until the very last moment, but Fermín López's desire is clear: he wants to stay at Barça. For that reason, seeing that signing Fermín will be very complicated, Pep Guardiola has decided to change his target. In this case, the chosen one shares a position with the Andalusian attacking midfielder and will be his number one rival in the culé squad for many years.

Pep Guardiola wants to sign the new gem from La Masia

Given that neither Fermín López nor Dani Olmo are going to leave Barça, Pep Guardiola has decided to take the next step: look at La Masia. The youth academy of the Catalan club is an inexhaustible source of talent and the coach from Santpedor knows it perfectly well, since he brought out such important players as Busquets or Pedro from there. Now, from Manchester City, he wants to do it again by taking advantage of the enormous competition that exists at FC Barcelona.

Specifically, Pep Guardiola is eager to finalize the signing of Dro Fernández. What he has seen from the young 17-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed him a lot, so he has asked Manchester City's board to make an effort to secure his signature. His transfer from Barça to the English club would be a hard blow to the interests of the Catalans, so Deco, Flick, and Laporta will have to react as soon as possible.

Dro Fernández is Pep Guardiola's new desire

Pep Guardiola's interest in Dro Fernández seems to be real. Manchester City's board has started a process of restructuring the team by letting go of heavyweights like Kevin De Bruyne. Therefore, it is not surprising to think that, within that renewal, Dro's name fits perfectly.

Dro Fernández has already shown in the few minutes he has had at the top level that he is more than ready. His confidence is astonishing and his ability to make good decisions at such a young age is very impressive. Pep Guardiola knows he is a generational talent and will try to sign him next summer: we'll see what happens.
