Throughout history, the two most important teams in Spain have competed for some players.
Throughout history, the two most important teams in Spain have competed for some players.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two most important clubs in Spain. With a special preponderance on the part of the capital as a whole in the international arena, both teams are the regular protagonists of the championships held in the Iberian country. However, not only are trophies disputed, but also, many times, they tend to want the same player, which can generate controversy due to the great rivalry that exists between both institutions. A remembered example is that of Vinicius Junior, who is currently shining at Real Madrid, but knew how to maintain the dream of playing for Barcelona.

Vinicius Junior became one of the most outstanding players in the world. The Brazilian maintains a superlative level at Real Madrid, which led him to be a regular player in the Brazilian national team. Now, another player who was close to a team but is in the rival is Fermín López Marín. The Barcelona youngster confessed that he received a call from Real Madrid, but fate made him end up at the Catalan club.

Fermín spoke with El Partidazo de Cope and revealed his feelings about playing with the Barcelona professional team. "I didn't expect to make the jump to the first team because of what I was experiencing years ago, but since I was little I have always had work and effort and the reward has arrived," said the 20-year-old midfielder. From a very young age, Fermín was far from his family, suffering the uprooting that comes with living in another city, since he was born in the small town of El Campillo.

Fermín's confession about Real Madrid's interest

Fermín López Marín revealed that they looked for him from the Spanish capital, but his heart is painted blue and scarlet. "Madrid once asked about me, but I have always been a member of Barça. My father never told me if there were teams that were interested in me, they left me on the sidelines, but one day he asked me what I would do if Barça came and I I told him I was leaving in a hurry", the midfielder confessed.
