This is what they say on COPE about Fermín López: 'If it's confirmed, it'd be an insult'

At this moment, Fermín López is, without a doubt, FC Barcelona's most valuable asset. His soccer breakthrough has come at the most opportune time for a team in need of leaders. That's why, after his spectacular hat-trick in the Champions League against Olympiacos, the Andalusian arrived at Bernabéu intending to repeat the feat.

From the very first minute of El Clásico, Fermín López showed intensity, ambition, and contagious energy. He wanted to be decisive, leave his mark on the most important match of the season, and show that his great moment was no coincidence. Before halftime, he had already scored his goal and created several clear chances for Hansi Flick's team.

In the second half, the Andalusian midfielder was once again a protagonist. He had a golden opportunity to equalize the score after a play with a numerical advantage, but his final decision was not the right one. Despite that specific mistake, the truth is that Fermín López was Barça's best player at Bernabéu and COPE have discussed it.

His growth is meteoric and the numbers prove it. With six goals so far this season, Fermín has already become Barça's top scorer, surpassing Rashford and Ferran's five goals. For Hansi Flick, his importance is total: he is a key piece, a player who brings intensity, attacking presence, and character to a locker room where those qualities are scarce.

However, his great moment hasn't been able to avoid an old debate among the culé community. In recent months, there has been speculation about the possibility of Fermín López leaving Barça. It was precisely on this topic that journalist Dani Senabre wanted to speak on the Tiempo de Juego program on COPE after El Clásico.

Dani Senabre says on COPE what many think about Fermín López

"Barça's play has been terrible. To highlight something positive, let's say that Fermín López is outstanding," Dani Senabre began. "He is the team's top scorer despite being injured for a month and a half, and it's an insult that Barça would consider selling him," he added forcefully.

Dani Senabre's words have had a great impact among the fans. Many culé supporters agree that selling Fermín López would be a historic mistake. At 22 years old, the midfielder from El Campillo is one of the few players who guarantees immediate performance and room for improvement.

At the club, meanwhile, they insist that there is no intention to transfer him, although his emergence inevitably sparks interest in Europe. Some Premier League teams have already inquired about his situation, aware that Barça need liquidity to face the upcoming transfer window. However, from the sporting management, Deco considers Fermín López untouchable.
