Earlier today, Barcelona confirmed that Fermin Lopez has renewed his contract with the club until 2029, with the player officially signing the new deal. His release clause has been set at an impressive €500 million.

Lopez had only extended his contract until 2027 last year, and Barcelona’s decision to offer an additional two years so soon highlights the long-term confidence they have in the midfielder.

Lopez has proven himself as a valuable asset in midfield, known especially for his direct approach towards goal and his efficiency off the ball.

Lopez Discusses His Contract Renewal

Speaking to the club’s media, the young midfielder shared his excitement about securing his future in Catalonia and explained what it means to him to play for the club of his dreams.

“For me, it’s a dream come true, the dream I’ve had since arriving at La Masia. I’m very happy for myself and my family, to be in the first team and at the club I dreamed of as a child.”

He went on to thank the management and administration for their faith in his potential, talent, and prospects.

“I’m grateful for the trust they have placed in me. I hope it will be for many more years. I’m very happy with the moment I’m living now, and I’m determined to keep working and achieve even more.”

Reflecting on the challenges he has faced to reach this point, the youngster continued:

“I’ve fought hard to get here, and you have to enjoy it. I’ve taken it all in stride, but it’s true I’ve had to be very patient; it’s been a longer and more difficult journey.”

“But this year I’ve accomplished great, unforgettable things, and I hope to achieve even more,” he added.

Finally, Lopez shared his hopes for the future with Barcelona.

“I want to help the club as much as possible and for both myself and the entire team to win many titles.”
