'The tiny football club' approves 80 million Euros for Barca's prodigy

Sunderland shocks by preparing to pay 80 million Euros to acquire Fermin Lopez, the rising young talent flourishing at Barcelona during Hansi Flick’s tenure.

Sunderland is becoming the most fascinating phenomenon in the Premier League for the 2025/26 season, and their ambitions continue to attract attention as they are ready to invest 80 million Euros to secure Fermin Lopez, the young midfielder shining for Barcelona.

According to sources from Fichajes, the new Premier League entrant is enjoying a dream season, currently sitting fourth in the standings, far exceeding expectations. Backed by strong financial support and determined leadership, the "Black Cats" openly aim to break into the European competition spots, and the player they want to bring in to realize that dream is Fermin Lopez, an outstanding product of the famous La Masia academy.

Fermin is one of the rare bright spots for Barcelona this season. Under Hansi Flick’s management, the Spanish midfielder has developed remarkably, becoming an indispensable part of the Catalan club’s tactical setup. His intelligent movement, skillful technique, and effective runs into the box consistently contribute to scoring and assisting.

Just a few months ago, Fermin’s future was uncertain when Chelsea showed interest in bringing him to England. However, the 2003-born player chose to stay, focus on his development, and quickly became a key figure in the midfield.

His impressive form has caught the attention of Sunderland, who are searching for a “midfield boss” to be the foundation for their long-term ambitions.

Experts believe Fermin Lopez’s strong, passionate playing style and relentless pressing suit the Premier League environment perfectly. If he joins the Stadium of Light, he could partner with Granit Xhaka to form one of the league’s most energetic midfield duos.

Sunderland believes this signing is not only valuable on the pitch but also a statement of their new stature in England’s top division.
