Fer López

Lots of very unhappy Celta fans on Twitter/X. The general consensus is that they can't understand why he would leave a team playing in Europa next season for a relegation-threatened team.

Some sad fans, some angry fans calling him a rat.

Good news for us I guess?
 
Looks like we'll still be after a more experienced 10 as 1st choice but I do like the look of Lopez as long as the fee is nowhere near the €40M clause
I said yesterday that it's £5m with £35m add-ons. Many deals are going in this direction as clubs struggle to stay within constraints.
 
They're not. One bloke wants 40 million, they keep him for a year, and get Fabio Silva on loan for 12 months.....

something about he'll be their best player in a few years, but has a reserve team contract and they should have signed him up and given him a pay rise before now.
I wouldn't trust anybody that wants Fabio Silva for a year.

Who's the relegation threatened team they are talking about as our record since Vitor joined is far from it.
 
How long before we are gazumped by Brentford or Brighton etc?, until he is holding the shirt I will be sceptical
 
Sounds like one we’re going to develop, rather than a ready to go first teamer.
Wouldn he really leave La Liga where he's been starting since January to come become one for our future?

His Spanish team is heading to Europa League too. You'd have to think his promise from Wolves is better than just one for the future.
 
Being reported in Spain his release clause is actually €20M, it won't be €40M until he triggers certain things that in his deal
Could we have got someone better for that money?

Clear that we am looking at the potential here yes if he comes good huge money spinner fingers crossed

You can always get better, it's also been reported we've got no intention of paying the clause so it'll probably be a fair bit lower upfront but with potential to be more with add-ons

Celta and Wolves are negotiating for Fer López, with a 20 million release clause.​


  • The contract renewal was announced less than a year ago.​

  • There were different scales with different termination clauses.​

  • Fer Lopez, a signing for Wolverhampton at the expense of Celta de Vigo​

Celta Vigo and Wolves are negotiating the transfer of Fer López . The agreement between the player and the Premier League club was finalized several days ago. Now, both clubs are negotiating the transfer of the young youth player, who, as ElDesmarque has been able to confirm, still has a €20 million release clause .


The renewal contract signed almost a year ago between Celta and Fer López, even though the midfielder was represented by his former agent, included several clauses depending on the player's status at the club. Fer López subsequently joined Jorge Méndes and his agency, Gestifute .


The connection between Fer López and Wolves is clear. He's Jorge Mendes . The Portuguese agent represents the young Sky Blue striker . Furthermore, his ties to the team are clear. Wolves owner Fosun International owns 20% of the Gestifute agency , owned by Jorge Mendes.


This contract, which in Fer López's case was announced on July 28, 2024, is similar to those signed by other players in recent months. Depending on his salary and his situation at Celta, his release clause will rise to the 40 million euro ceiling.

Currently, Fer López's buyout clause, which keeps him in the reserve team like other players such as Javi Rodríguez and Yoel Lago, is only €20 million. This doesn't mean a move to Wolves will be finalized for that amount.


The Vigo club could get a higher amount or other benefits, such as a percentage of a future sale, if it reaches an agreement with Wolves. The agreement between Jorge Mendes and the English club regarding Fer López's terms is complete. The 21-year-old youth player is expected to sign a long-term contract.


It was Alex Crook , speaking on talkSPORT , who first revealed Wolves' interest in Fer López. Jorge Mendes had agreed the terms of his move to Molineux Stadium with the English side about a week ago. This Saturday, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the agreement.


Celta Vigo and Wolves are now negotiating the attacking midfielder's transfer. Various sources consulted by ElDesmarque indicate that the youth player's departure to the Premier League is on track.
Coping pretty hard saying that there's a chance we pay more than his release clause and/or offer a sell-on.
 
Please read the celta vigo fans view on lopez. They seem to think he could be a star. They are very disrespectful towards ourselves.

 
We don't have to offer more, only way they'll get extra is if it's changed parameters i.e lower upfront or in extra installments
 
Certainly makes sense why were moving fast though, his contract might change soon and the €40M clause kicks in. I wonder who made us aware of that?
 
Yep, 20M euros release clause.


"Well, we were wrong (or misinformed) and Fer López's current release clause is actually only 20 million euros. His transfer to Wolves is taking shape and Celta is not going to get a lot of money... it's time to cry."
I reckon if it's €20m only, no extras, then for a 20 Yr old with that much ability and potential we have got a bargain.

He's officially still a youth team player and the €40m is the release clause of when he becomes a senior player so I'm assuming they can't change that until 1st July or next season.

Assume he's on lower wages while a youth player and Celta were being cute holding off promoting him to save money otherwise that clause is proper Shi + Sellars dream team levels of stupidity.

Yeah he's still on a reserve contract, the €40M clause kicks in when his wages go up. It stinks that his agent is Mendes and he's given us the nod but this is how he can help us

May be Celta played hardball and it's back fired

Mendes didn't negotiate the contract, that was his former agent's doing and agents giving interested clubs the nod about the particulars of release clauses is old hat at this point.

The only party to blame here imo is Celta for keeping him on a reserve contract and then getting bitten for it.
 
Is he first team ready?

How many goals and assists in La liga last year?

Reminds me of Trincao. Will be interesting if he has the pace and strength for the league

If you think of the minutes that Sarabia and Geudes put in last season, maybe he is ready for that and if he shines he will get more.
 
Porto fans weren't that bothered when fabio silva left but celta vigo fans are distraught that this fur lopez may leave.
