Manchester United intends to sign Barcelona’s 22-year-old midfielder Fermín for over €70 million and has promised to offer the player a doubled salary. If the deal goes through, Barcelona will be able to fully meet the 1:1 salary cap requirement.
Manchester United has directly expressed its willingness to sign Fermín and is ready to submit an offer of over €70 million.
Currently, both FC Barcelona and the player himself are aware of this situation. While no substantial progress has been made on the transfer so far, the move is likely to be completed in the coming weeks.
Barcelona’s internal stance is gradually shifting, and they are willing to green-light the transfer if a high-value official offer is received.
Manchester United has suddenly intensified its pursuit of Fermín recently, as they are in urgent need of rebuilding their squad and plan to sign at least 4 more new players before the transfer window closes. Furthermore, Fermín’s technical attributes fully fit into Amorim’s tactical system.
Manchester United intends to persuade Fermín to join with a high-value contract that doubles his salary. Barcelona’s stance is clear: they will open negotiations as long as the offer meets the €70 million threshold.
If the deal is completed, it will be one of the most significant player sales in Barcelona’s history. More importantly, the transfer will resolve Barcelona’s first-team financial difficulties in one go.
Such a large-scale transfer revenue will allow Barcelona to fully comply with the 1:1 salary rule. In this way, Barcelona will not only be able to register all renewed players and new signings but also have the capacity to sign more strong players.
