"In a major development, La Vanguardia reports that FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with Fermin Lopez over a new contract until the summer of 2031. The 22-year-old La Masia graduate renewed his contract until 2029 in October 2024. However, his development, reflected in the ten goals and ten assists he has recorded this season, has quickly made those terms outdated."
"At Barcelona, there were never doubts about his potential, although Fermin did have some concerns last August, when Chelsea made an approach to sign him. The player's agents met with Deco and informed him of Chelsea's interest. The sporting director replied that he would only authorise the move if Fermin requested to leave, and that the club would not let him go for less than €90 million."
FC Barcelona have agreed to extend Fermin López's contract until the summer of 2031, increasing his salary by 50% and doubling his release clause from €500 million to €1 billion. The 22-year-old La Masia graduate had renewed until 2029 in October 2024, but his form—ten goals and ten assists this season—prompted a faster revision. The player's representatives and sporting director Deco negotiated the new terms. Chelsea made a failed approach last August with a €40 million offer; the club demanded at least €90 million and Fermin never requested a move. Fermin has started 17 matches and is happy at Barcelona.
