Fermin Lopez has rumored to transfer to Manchester United.

It is reported that Manchester United has issued a offer for the summer transfer to FC Barcelona, ​​but the offer has triggered "divergence".

The Red Devils may be busy during this summer transfer window as they need to upgrade in various positions.

Mr. United fell into a dilemma after Reuben Amorin replaced Eric Tenhager as he found it difficult to implement the 3-4-3 system he liked because his roster didn’t fit his playing style.

Manchester United's ranking in the Premier League this season may fall to 17th place and requires a large-scale roster adjustment to get back on track.

Wolves' Mattus Cunya and Ipswich's Liam Delapp are the main targets in the forward position, but they need more, Barcelona star Fermin Lopez is associated with the Red Devils.

The 21-year-old spent a breakthrough season in Barcelona, ​​scoring five goals and nine assists in 39 games in various competitions.

Nevertheless, the attacking midfielder has been closely linked to the transfer to the Premier League in recent months, with several clubs in the six major leagues listing it as a possible destination. A Spanish report said that Manchester United had "issued a preliminary offer" to Barcelona, ​​and Lopez "hadowed admiration throughout Europe."

Regarding the club and players' position on the transfer, the report explained:

Manchester United is willing to offer the midfielder up to 30 million euros. Amorin believes that Ferming's strength, tactical ability and diversity in the midfield are very suitable for his playing style.

However, there are differences in views on the proposal within Camp Nou. On the one hand, Laporta and sports director Deco believe that Fermin is a key figure in future plans. His contract expires in 2029 and the termination fee is 500 million euros, which shows that the club is full of confidence in him.

However, the team's financial situation is still complicated, and the sports authorities do not rule out any transactions, provided that this transaction can strengthen other aspects of the team that need to be strengthened the most. So while this clause is beyond anyone’s ability, a good offer may allow them to sit down and listen carefully.

However, Fermin Lopez's goal is very clear: to succeed in Barcelona. He knew he was in a growing team, had a coach who believed in young people, and an environment that valued him.

"In addition, he is skeptical about joining Manchester United, which has been in a volatile state for many years and has been relegated closer to the European ranks last season."

United also has links with River Plate star Franco Mastantuno, whose contract contains a £38 million termination clause.

A new report from Italy says AC Milan and Real Madrid are also competing to sign the teenager, but the Red Devils are in a "leading position" and will make a formal offer "in a few days."
