Barcelona midfielder Fermín López has played down reports linking him with Manchester United, making it clear that he intends to remain at the Spanish club for as long as possible. Speaking about the transfer rumours, the 23-year-old said he was not concerned by speculation surrounding his future and remained focused on continuing his career at the Catalan side.

According to a post by Fabrizio Romano on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Fermín was asked about the reported interest from the Premier League club but indicated that such stories were not influencing his thinking. Instead, he reaffirmed his commitment to Barcelona and expressed a strong desire to represent the team for many more years.

The midfielder stressed that his ambition goes beyond extending his stay for a few seasons. He hopes to spend his entire professional career at Barcelona and eventually retire at the club, underlining the importance of the team in his long-term plans.

“Manchester United links? I don't pay attention to that kind of news. I want to stay here at Barça as long as possible,” Fermín said.

He further explained that his ultimate goal is to bring his playing career to an end in Barcelona colours.

“I hope to end my football career at this club and retire here,” he added.

His remarks provide a clear response to the speculation surrounding a possible move to Old Trafford. While Manchester United have been associated with several midfield targets as they consider ways to strengthen their squad, Fermín's comments indicate that he is not actively considering a departure from Barcelona.

The midfielder's declaration is also likely to reassure Barcelona supporters who regard him as an important part of the club's future. His preference to remain at the Camp Nou reflects a desire to develop his career within the team rather than seek opportunities elsewhere.

Although reports linking him with other clubs may continue to emerge, Fermín has publicly stated where he sees his future. He wants to remain at Barcelona, contribute to the team's ambitions and eventually retire after spending his entire professional career with the Catalan club.
