Barcelona’s breakout star a potential option for Spain in Euro 2024 – report | OneFootball

Fermin Lopez has become the embodiment of Barcelona’s golden touch with La Masia youth this season. From a fringe prospect to a reliable first-team option, Fermin has injected dynamism and energy into Xavi’s midfield, becoming one of the breakout stars in Spain.

Fermin currently leads the midfielders in goals (10) across all competitions, placing him alongside established names like Joao Felix and Raphinha as the team’s third-highest scorer.

An option for Spain?

In light of his performances, Alex Pintanel has come up with a report, which highlights that Fermin could be an option for Spain in their Euro 2024 squad.

Fermin’s emergence throws an intriguing possibility into the mix for Spain coach Luis de la Fuente. The long-term injury to Gavi has opened up a potential space in the squad, and Fermin’s form makes him a strong contender for that spot.

With his ability to dictate the tempo, arrive in the penalty area, and contribute defensively, Fermin could be the surprise package Spain needs to bolster their midfield for Euro 2024.

It is no secret that Luis de la Fuente is a close admirer of Barcelona and its youth talents, which is why the likes of Pedri and Lamine Yamal are more than guaranteed to earn a place in the Spain team this summer.

In a recent interview, de la Fuente hinted that he is open to including players who have never played for the national team in the past, which bodes well for someone like Fermin.

And keeping that in mind, De la Fuente would be wise to keep a close eye on Barcelona’s young prodigy.
