"After a long saga in the summer where he was close to leaving Barcelona, Fermin Lopez has stood out as one of the team's best and most valued players this season. While an injury did sideline him for a few weeks, he has stepped up his game and delivered in front of goal more often than not, and his directness has been a serious asset for the team."
"As relayed in a recent report by SPORT, Fermin's role with the Spanish national team is now set to change for the better as Luis de la Fuente has been maintaining a close eye on his development and quality. So far, the youngster has only played three games for Spain and has come on as a substitute in all three - totalling 79 minutes played across all three outings."
"The La Masia star has been called up by La Roja and is a frontrunner to be the team's primary attacking midfielder this time around, especially with Pedri injured and Olmo still unconvincing. Fermin may not be a de facto starter yet, but he will undoubtedly see more prominence than he has in the past for La Roja. The manager values his quality and progress, and the opportunities will keep arriving if he keeps up the same level."
Fermin Lopez rose from summer transfer uncertainty to become one of Barcelona's most valued players this season. An injury sidelined him briefly, but he returned with improved directness and consistent contributions in front of goal. He has scored six goals and provided four assists, becoming Hansi Flick's preferred attacking midfielder ahead of Dani Olmo. Luis de la Fuente has tracked his development and plans to increase his role with Spain. Lopez has three substitute appearances totaling 79 minutes, but he is now a frontrunner for the primary attacking midfield role in upcoming matches.
