Barcelona respond to Man United’s €30m offer for potential Kobbie Mainoo midfield partner

Man United’s opening bid for Fermin Lopez rejected by Barcelona
Manchester United are keen on bringing in a central midfielder this summer to partner with Kobbie Mainoo in midfield for the longer term.

This year, Casemiro is anticipated to travel to Saudi Arabia. Since joining United from Real Madrid two summers ago, his form has drastically declined.

In light of this, Fermin Lopez has been the most recent name associated with a move to Old Trafford.

According to Spanish publication Diario Sport, Barcelona rejected a €30 million bid for the player from United.

After an incredible season in which he scored 11 goals in 42 appearances, the Red Devils were willing to pay €30 million, but the 21-year-old is valued far more highly by the Blaugrana.

Fermin Lopez, a deep-lying midfielder with the capacity to play as a left winger and an offensive midfielder, has a bright future ahead of him.

The Spaniard’s incredible season saw him net against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu as well, albeit that was in a losing cause.

It is not difficult to justify Manchester United’s interest in a player, who is a terrific carrier of the ball, has an attractive eye for goal and can contribute defensively as well.

Barcelona, however, have no intention of selling Fermin Lopez this summer despite their financial worries and only an irrefutable offer could convince them in breaking their resolve.
