"He's a fantastic player. The decision was up to him, and I'm happy he stayed," he told reporters. "He's a player who breathes and has Barcelona DNA. I really appreciate his performance today."
"I never doubted being here," he explained back in September. "I've always wanted to be here, and I'll fight to be here for many years to come."
Barcelona are preparing a new contract offer for Fermin Lopez that would add two years to his current deal and increase his salary. Lopez is under contract until 2029 and his camp held meetings with the club to discuss upgraded terms. He has registered ten goals and ten assists this season and has become an increasingly vital figure in Hansi Flick's team. Lopez rejected a transfer approach from Chelsea last summer and is likely to attract further suitors if he continues to perform. Barcelona aim to lock down his future as a reward for his contributions and to deter interest.
