Spain star READY to say yes to Liverpool as Richard Hughes accelerates move

A Spanish international playing for Barcelona is reportedly ready to say yes to Liverpool as Richard Hughes steps up the club's efforts.

It's going to be a busy summer. Liverpool's sporting director got away with it last summer. It was a transitional period for the club with Hughes only arriving a few months prior.

However, this time around Liverpool will be making direct steps in the market in order to reinforce and reshape the team.

As Anfield Watch revealed exclusively, Liverpool are making era-defining plans to overhaul the attack that could see several of the club's current players leave for pastures new.

There's other area of the team that Liverpool also need to invest in, especially if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves which will increase the need to add more creative players and perhaps even add an addition no.10 to provide competition alongside Dominik Szoboszlai.

In order to do that Hughes might be planning a major swoop to sign an exciting Barcelona star who is reportedly ready to make the move to the Reds.

Why Fermin Lopez is ready to say yes to Liverpool's offer

According to a report from El Nacional Barcelona's young attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez is seriously considering his future at the club.

Lopez has set his sights on making Spain's 2026 World Cup squad and is frustrated by his lack of regular playing time with the Catalans. As a result, he is ready to make his next step and it seems like his preferred destination is Liverpool.

The report claims that Lopez has already rejected a proposal by Atletico Madrid for his services because he prefers a move to Anfield.

The Reds have already been in contact with his representatives to present their plans as they look to accelerate a move for Lopez and the report claims they could make a significant bid to Barcelona in order to sign him.

This could see Lopez leave for around €50m, which would be a lot of money to spend, but there is the possibility Liverpool could involve Luis Diaz in the deal, Barcelona are interested in him after all.

Lopez is a fantastic talent who is quick and would definitely suit the no.10 role in Arne Slot's system. He'd provide a lot of creativity and energy in the middle of the park and cause the opposition a multitude of problems.

In the limited time he has spent on the pitch for Barcelona this season he has 13 goal contributions and averages a goal or assist every 107 minutes.

That's not bad for a player on the periphery of the squad but it's obvious Lopez is ready to make more of an impact.

At his age, he already has more than 70 appearances for Barcelona's first team and that kind of experience combined with his talent just makes him a perfect option for Liverpool.
