Spanish midfielder Fermín López has made it clear regarding Manchester United's interest in acquiring his services, confirming his desire to remain at Barcelona and his wish to finish his football career within the walls of the Catalan club.
López, who is 23 years old, made his comments after shining in the match against Deportivo Alavés, which ended with Barcelona winning 6-1 in the eleventh round of La Liga, where he scored one goal and assisted two for his teammate Raphinha.
The player expressed his connection to Barcelona after celebrating his goal by kissing the club's badge and pointing to it, in a message that reflected his desire to continue his journey with the team.
López said regarding the rumors about Manchester United's interest: "I don't care about such news; I want to stay at Barcelona for as long as possible, and I hope to finish my career with this club."
According to Spanish media reports, Manchester United is monitoring the player's situation as part of their plans to strengthen the midfield, without entering into official negotiations with Barcelona yet, as their actions have only included inquiries about the player's status and the possibility of signing him.
López has previously been linked with interest from English clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, during the last summer transfer window, but he preferred to continue his journey with Barcelona.
The player has the trust of German coach Hansi Flick, who relies on him as part of the team's project, while he has a contract with the Catalan club that extends until June 2031, after renewing it last January.
López continues to deliver impressive performances offensively, competing with Dani Olmo for the playmaker position, in an effort to bolster his place in Barcelona's lineup in the coming period.
