Several FC Barcelona players were linked with moves away from the Blaugrana club in the last summer transfer window, including the midfielder Fermin Lopez, whose future remained quite uncertain till the very end of the market.

The La Masia graduate was being linked with the Premier League side Chelsea, but ultimately decided to remain at the Catalan club. Now, after the end of the transfer window, the midfielder appeared in an interview with Mundo Deportivo and highlighted one of the factors that helped him make the decision to stay, i.e., the support of the dressing room.

Talking about this aspect of his recent experience, Fermin said:

“I’ve had some conversations with a few of them. But the whole team has supported me a lot this week, and they all wanted me to stay too. I’m grateful for the affection from the dressing room.”

The midfielder went on to name the captains with whom he talked before making this decision:

“Quite a few, but I can tell you… Ter Stegen, for example. With him, with Ronald, with Pedri… With quite a few players, really. Raphinha too.”

Some of these players, especially Ter Stegen, have been facing a difficult time at Barcelona, and it is encouraging to see even him playing a part in helping the team retain its important players.
