Barcelona to hand new contract to youngster as reward for summer form | OneFootball

The powers that be at La Liga giants Barcelona are ready to open negotiations with a member of the club’s midfield ranks, over the terms of a new contract.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Fermín López as the player in question.

Youngster Fermín has of course seen his name take its place front and centre in the headlines not only in Catalunya’s capital, but across all of Spain, this summer.

As much comes after the 21-year-old, first, was part of Spain’s triumphant squad at Euro 2024.

And then, adding to as much, Fermín proved himself the star of the show, notching six goals en route to La Roja securing gold at the Olympic Games, too.

Such exploits, fresh off a stellar breakout season at club level, have not gone at all unappreciated on the part of those behind the scenes at Barcelona.

In turn, it should not come as all that much of a surprise to hear of the Blaugrana preparing to sit down for talks over a new-and-improved contract for Fermín.

As per a report from Diario Sport:

‘The Barça sporting management have decided to speak with the player’s agent to improve his contract, as they know at Barça that Fermín’s value is skyrocketing.’

The proposal in question would see both the midfielder’s wage packet and release clause significantly increased.
