Player Contract Negotiations Concluded

Recent Developments

Negotiations commenced a few weeks back, and the agreement to extend the player’s contract with the club for an additional two years has now been successfully completed, as reported by Marca.

Quick Agreement

The talks were conducted smoothly, allowing for a swift resolution.

Improved Contract Terms

• Enhanced Financial Package: The management has upgraded the midfielder’s salary, reflecting his outstanding performances this season.

• Deco’s Strategic Insight: Sporting director Deco recognized the necessity to boost Fermin’s wages to acknowledge his contributions and simultaneously deter interest from rival clubs.

Transfer Interest

The urgency for this agreement increased following an overture from Manchester United earlier this month. Chelsea also expressed interest in signing Fermin last summer, putting forth a €40 million bid to Barcelona, which Deco chose not to respond to at that time.
