In a recent tweet, Rodra P stated that Barcelona are keeping tabs on Celta Vigo starlet Fer Lopez. It has been mentioned that the Catalan club are set to rival Real Madrid in the race to land the Spanish talent this summer.
Lopez’s Impressive Rise In Spanish Football
Lopez has come through the youth ranks of Celta Vigo and has done well to establish himself as an important member of their B team. The 20-year-old found the back of the net on seven occasions and earned three assists in 34 appearances for the Spanish outfit last season in various competitions.
The Madrid-born talent has caught the eye with his performances for his current team Celta Fortuna in the final third. At the moment, Lopez is amongst the best young talents in Spanish football.
Lopez is under contract at Celta Vigo until the summer of 2025 which could open the door for Barcelona to snap him up on the cheap in this summer transfer period.
Barcelona Are Keeping Tabs On Lopez: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Lopez can strike the ball with venom and accuracy from long range. He has got the vision to engineer a few clear-cut chances for his teammates on the offensive end of the field. The Spanish whizkid can even make a few clever runs with the ball in the opponent’s half. However, he is still quite inexperienced at the highest level and would need time to prove his worth in senior football.
Still, there is no denying that Lopez has the potential to be a future star in European football. Thus, Barcelona would be wise to move in for him before the end of this summer transfer window.
At 20, Lopez is undeniably a prospect to watch out for in the future. Thus, Barca boss Hansi Flick would be wise to go all out to bring him to the Nou Camp this off-season. However, the Catalan club has to be patient with his progress before they can get the best out of the youngster in the long run. With all things considered, Lopez would be a good option for Barcelona to pursue ahead of the new campaign.
