Barcelona has reacted to Paris Saint-Germain’s apparent interest in Marc Casado and Fermin Lopez, two of its midfield prospects. Fichajes claims that Barça has told the French champions that €130 million is the asking price if they wish to acquire both players.
According to reports, PSG’s drive follows manager Luis Enrique’s identification of the two as his main priorities in order to bolster his midfield going forward. Enrique has kept a close eye on Fermin and Casado’s development and thinks they might provide PSG’s team much-needed vitality and inventiveness.
In the aftermath of PSG’s loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, their midfield has drawn criticism. The two La Masia grads are part of the former Barcelona coach’s effort to bring in new talent.
It was revealed yesterday that PSG had made contact with Barcelona regarding Fermin Lopez and Marc Casado, two midfield players. Now, according to Fichajes, the Catalan team has demanded that the two Spaniards be released this summer for a minimum value of €130 million.
PSG want Barcelona midfield duo
Marc Casado is a vital member of Hansi Flick’s squad despite seemingly drawing a lot of attention this summer. However, Fermin Lopez is a unique member of the team with a very high ceiling who is an X-factor player.
Under Hansi Flick, Casado made his debut in the first squad last season and immediately established himself as a valuable member of the group. The 21-year-old is a hard-charging, goal-scoring midfielder who adds a great deal of defensive stability.
Fermin is a skillful attacking midfielder with exceptional spatial awareness who can smash boxes. There is still much space for progress for the Spaniard, who ended the 2024–25 season on a high note by regularly scoring goals and providing assists.
The Catalan team shouldn’t be considering any offers for their La Masia players, but it’s unclear if PSG will agree to pay Barcelona’s asking price for the Spanish pair. In the days ahead, it will be evident whether these transfer rumors have any truth to them.
