    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Last month, reports from Italy claimed that Champions League runners-up Inter were planning to make a sensational summer swoop for the midfielder as they eye a successor to Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Catalans have apparently placed a €60 million (£50m/$68m) price tag on the player, with Premier League giants United also linked, having made an offer during the winter transfer window.

    WHAT NEXT FOR FERMIN LOPEZ?

    Lopez seemed to have won the favour of head coach Hansi Flick during the closing stages of the season. His dynamism in midfield and a noteworthy output of eight goals and 10 assists could see him break into the starting line-up next season. Before that, though, he will represent Spain in the Nations League this week, with Luis de la Fuente's men set to face France in the semi-final on Thursday.
