A major transfer twist is stirring controversy in Catalonia, as Barcelona’s promising talent **Fermín López** edges closer to a possible move to **Inter Milan**.
Unlike their recent Champions League clash, Inter is now making headlines in Barcelona for its interest in the 22-year-old midfielder. The Italian champions, who recently secured the Serie A title and a spot in the 2025 Champions League final, are reportedly eyeing Fermín as a long-term successor to veteran **Henrikh Mkhitaryan**, whose contract expires in 2026.
According to *Mundo Deportivo*, via *Calciomercato*, Inter has identified Fermín as a priority target for this summer’s transfer window, although no formal offer has been submitted yet.
Barcelona, meanwhile, is under pressure from Financial Fair Play restrictions and may be forced to offload players to stabilize their finances. Fermín, though not a regular starter under **Hansi Flick**, has impressed in cameo appearances and is seen as a valuable asset the club could cash in on. Reports suggest Barça has set an asking price of **€60 million**.
Selling Fermín would provide a financial boost that could help the club meet existing wage obligations and secure contract renewals for key players. While many fans hope the young Spaniard stays, his potential move to Inter underscores the balancing act Barcelona must perform this summer—rebuilding the squad while managing financial constraints.
Now, the spotlight is on López’s future: will he seize a fresh opportunity at **San Siro**, or will Barça resist the temptation and keep him as part of their new project?
