Barcelona remain firm in their commitment to the youth academy. Something that the 'Cules' have always believed in and which, given the club's current financial situation, is more than necessary at the club.
Moreover, last season and so far this term, Xavi Hernandez has already been seen giving great prominence to the youth players. Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Balde, Hector Fort and Pau Cubarsi are some of those who are in the first team dynamic. Also Fermin Lopez, who is to the liking of Xavi Herrnandez and who has repaid the trust placed in him with good performances.
So, taking advantage of this winter window, the Catalan giants decided to register the Spanish midfielder in the first team. He will wear the No. 16 which, among others, was worn by Pedri himself or Sergio Busquets.
"One more step. I am fulfilling a dream. Visca el Barca," said Fermin in the video provided by Barcelona on their social networks.
