Hans Flick, the head coach of FC Barcelona, has clarified the stance of midfielder Firmin Lopez regarding leaving the team during the current summer transfer window, affirming his commitment to keeping the player in his plans for the upcoming season.

According to the Spanish newspaper "AS", Firmin Lopez was among the names rumored to leave this summer, especially after receiving offers from English clubs.

However, Flick completely rejected the idea of letting him go, considering him one of the key players he has great confidence in, despite his limited appearances as a starter last season.

The 22-year-old player participated in 46 matches with Barcelona last season, scoring 8 goals and assisting 10 others, and his contract with the Catalan club runs until June 2029.
