Barcelona midfielder outlines the team’s goals for this season – ‘To win every possible trophy’ | OneFootball

Fermin Lopez is the man of the moment in Barcelona. After a turbulent summer in which he came close to joining Chelsea, the midfielder stayed put and marked the decision in style with a brace against Valencia as Barça won 6-0.

Named MVP of that match, the 22-year-old La Masia gem now has his sights set on challenging Dani Olmo for a starting place.

On Tuesday, Fermin engaged directly with his fans via the digital app The Residency, answering a wide range of questions. The interaction was initially scheduled to take place in August but was postponed amidst the rampant speculations over his future.

Having decided to stay at Barcelona and shown his quality during the win vs Valencia, Fermin replied to questions from the fans and here are some of his most revealing responses from the interaction.
