Xavi Hernández negotiates with a big European club and wants to bring in a Barça star
Xavi Hernández , who left the FC Barcelona bench last summer, is ready to return to football next season after a sabbatical. Among the clubs interested in his figure is Juventus of Turin , which is looking for a change of course after a disappointing season under the direction of Thiago Motta . Xavi, who has always expressed his love for Barça, would be open to the idea of coaching in Turin, but on one condition: he wants to take with him Fermín López , the youngster from the youth team who he gave the opportunity to shine in the first team of the Barça .
Juventus , one of the most emblematic clubs in Europe, is going through a difficult period. Despite having a quality squad, the results have not been good, and the board is considering a change on the bench. Xavi, known for his playing philosophy based on ball control and offensive football, is seen as the ideal coach to return the Turin team to the elite. The Catalan, for his part, values the project presented to him, since he is not only looking for a competitive team, but also an environment where he can implement his style of play.
One of the most striking aspects of this possible negotiation is Xavi’s interest in Fermín López . The young midfielder, who shone under Xavi last season, has shown himself to be a player with enormous potential. However, this season he has not enjoyed as many minutes as he expected under the direction of Hansi Flick , which has led Xavi to consider his signing if he finally signs with Juventus. For the Catalan, Fermín is a key player in his system, and he would not hesitate to request his incorporation.
However, FC Barcelona considers Fermín untransferable . The club is firmly committed to its quarry, and the young midfielder represents the values and style of play that Barça wants to maintain. In addition, his youth and potential make him a key asset for the future. However, a call from Xavi could change things. Fermín, who is happy in Barcelona and has shown his commitment to the club, knows that under Xavi’s orders he would have a leading role. If Juventus decide to launch themselves for him, Barça would find themselves in a delicate situation.
For FC Barcelona , the possible departure of Fermín López would be a hard blow. The club does not want to lose one of its most promising jewels, but is also aware that the player needs minutes to continue developing. If Hansi Flick does not guarantee him a more prominent role in his project, Fermín could be tempted by the opportunity to reunite with Xavi in Turin.
In short, the future of Xavi, Fermín and FC Barcelona are more intertwined than ever. The decisions made in the coming months could change the course of their careers. Xavi, willing to make difficult decisions to continue growing as a coach, shows that his legacy at Barça goes beyond titles: he is a coach who is committed to young people and believes in football as a way of life. In the meantime, Barça will have to decide whether to keep Fermín or respect his desire to seek new opportunities.
