Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal has weighed in on the recent bid from Chelsea for his teammate Fermín López, insisting that the midfielder is fully committed to the Catalan giants.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Yamal revealed that the squad had joked with Fermín about a potential move to England but emphasized that the young midfielder has no intention of leaving Barcelona.

“We were joking with Fermín about moving to England… but he’s happy at Barcelona. No one wants to leave,” Yamal said.

He further noted, “We asked him about that bid from England but Fermín said he’s happy here, he had no plans to leave.”

Chelsea, under their aggressive transfer strategy, have been keen on bolstering their midfield options, and López’s impressive performances at Camp Nou have not gone unnoticed.

However, Barcelona’s crop of promising talents, including Fermín and Yamal himself, appears firmly grounded in the club’s long-term project.

Fermín López, who has quickly established himself as a reliable figure in Barcelona, seems unfazed by outside interest.

His commitment highlights a growing sense of unity among Barcelona’s youthful squad, many of whom view staying at the club as an opportunity to restore its dominance in both La Liga and Europe.

For Barcelona fans, Yamal’s remarks will come as a reassuring message. Amid constant transfer speculation surrounding the club’s rising stars, it appears the players remain focused on building their future together at the Camp Nou.
