Manchester United will have to start thinking about the long -term successor for Captain Bruno Fernandes and the Red Devils are reportedly giving up a bid of £ 61 million for Barcelona's attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez
Manchester United is reportedly preparing to offer £ 61 million for Barcelona's highly appreciated midfielder Femin Lopez.
Ruben Amorim is leading a revival in Old Trafford this summer after he had already arrested two attackers in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, while a new striker is also on the agenda.
But United also needs creative spark in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes who have two more years about his current deal.
The Red Devils will have to start thinking about a long -term successor for Fernandes and Spanish outlet sport claim that United is about to test the waters on Lopez.
Lopez is one of the smartest talents that have come from the famous La Masia Academy of Barcelona in recent years and he was played 88 times for his boys' club after his breakthrough in the 2023-24 season.
The 22-year-old made it impressed by seven goals and eight assists in all competitions last season, but will be hungry for even more playing time after making only 12 starts in La Liga and another 16 from the bank.
Sport Claim United is ready to double the salary of Lopez at Old Trafford. He currently earns around £ 64,000 a week in Barcelona.
Barcelona is open to the sale of Lopez, but believes that the player is reluctant to leave the club that previously rejected teams in the Premier League.
It is claimed that United spoke with Barca officials about the possibility of breaking up Lopez, while the Spanish club was in negotiations to sign Marcus Rashford on loan.
United wanted Lopez to be included in the deal, but did not want to stop the exit of Rashford because they wanted to get PSR reasons his wages from their books, the report will take place.
Rashford is one of the five players who has tried to load United, knowing that they have to protect more expenses if they want to take more players with them in the midst of their continuous financial problems.
United has already spent £ 63.5 million on Cunha and about £ 71 million on Mbeumo, so they may need more space in their budget by selling people like Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.
