"I live it as a dream. That's what I've dreamed of since I was little and I've always worked for. At 22 years old, being in Barç a and in the national team is a dream."
"It was very hard, because it was very small. I think I was not yet ready to go live so far away without my family and friends, although here, in La Masía, they treated me very well, they helped me a lot and it was a very beautiful stage."
"It's difficult. When I came from Linares, I thought I was never going to play for Barç a, but I could dedicate myself to soccer. And then I had the opportunity to go to the preseason with the first team and it went well and so far,"
Fermín López has established himself as an important attacking midfielder for Barcelona through performance and perseverance. He attracted summer interest from Chelsea but stayed and earned Hansi Flick's trust, often being preferred ahead of Dani Olmo. López describes his current situation as a childhood dream realized at age 22, including playing for Barcelona and the national team. He joined Barcelona at 13 and found adaptation to La Masía challenging, but he credits the academy for support. A loan to Linares prompted doubts about his Barcelona future, but the loan matured him and enabled his return and progress.
