Fermin Lopez Signs New Long-Term Contract With Barcelona

Fermin Lopez has reached an agreement with Barcelona to extend his contract and has been given a release clause of 500 million euros.

FC Barcelona fans will have Fermin Lopez for a long time. The Andalusian footballer has renewed his contract with Barcelona until June 30th, 2029.

The decision follows the player’s outstanding performances with the first team over the past two seasons and the trust Hansi Flick has shown in him.

His performances last season earned him a spot in Spain’s victorious Euro 2024 team, though he did not see much playing time.

He did feature heavily at the Paris 2024 Olympics where Spain beat hosts France to claim the gold medal in the under-23 competition.

Furthermore, the Catalan side’s offices consider the Huelva-born player to be one of their most prized assets after this agreement. Joan Laporta and his team’s 500 million euro release clause for the youngster is proof of that.

This season, Fermin has made five appearances in La Liga and one in the Champions League.

His breakout occurred during the 2023/24 season when he played 31 matches in the domestic league and scored eight goals under Xavi Hernandez.

“FC Barcelona and first-team player Fermin Lopez have reached an agreement on the renewal of his contract, which will link him to the Club until 30 June 2029. The termination clause is set at 500 million euros,” the club said in a statement.

“The midfielder signed his new contract this Thursday at midday in a ceremony with the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta; the first vice-president, Rafa Yuste; the manager in charge of Training Football, Joan Soler; and the Club’s sporting director, Anderson Luis de Souza ‘Deco,'” the statement continued.
