Manchester United is open this week for the possibility to sign Fermin Lopez of Barcelona this week.
The Red Devils have been informed of the availability of the attacking playmaker and they are considering making an official approach to the Spaniard.
According to reports in Spain, Barca boss Hansi Flick did not want to lose his player in this window and had done it a veto “as a matter of desire to keep him in Camp Nou.
However, an output cannot be excluded and United is interested in taking him to Old Trafford if Barcelona has to free up space to register new signing sessions yourself.
Lopez, 22, only played half his side of the first game of the season against RCD Mallorca and a potential lack of playing time could also open him for an exit.

In his years he made 89 performances with the Catalan giants in all competitions with 19 goals and 11 assists at the time.
Ruben Amorim’s side has meanwhile terribly started their domestic campaign with only one point of a possible six. They lost from Arsenal on the opening day in the Theater of Dreams and then only could go a point to Fulham.
They need creative and attacking stores that can freshen up their team and Lopez is seen as a decent fit.
The new signing sessions at Old Trafford really have to go in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko who might take some time to integrate and understand what Amorim wants.
Lopez is an option, but United Face competition from another Premier League outfit in the form of Chelsea.
Chelsea also wants Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons
According to more reports in Spain, that is.
The reports claim that an offer of £ 43 million from the blues has been submitted to Barca and is “simulated” by La Liga Giants.
It would certainly be an interesting step for Lopez if Chelsea would be the club to land his signature.
Their alleged interest is because they also love both Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons. There is some irony that a deal for the first – from United – could end their interest in Lopez and man Utd can get a deal over the line.
Simons is now being sought by Tottenham Hotspur, in the meantime, who are reportedly trying to bring Chelsea in Gazon and the Dutchman to North Londs.
The Club of Enzo Maresca has been in discussion with Xavi’s representatives for a few months while having to chase the RB Leipzig attacker, but Spurs have now entered the fight.
