According to AS, Fermín's father has said that his son is very competitive and always focused on scoring goals.

Fermín López has become a key player for Barcelona. The midfielder has had a remarkable start to the season in terms of scoring ability, netting 4 goals in 4 appearances to date, and is expected to become one of the main forwards for a team lacking a consistent center forward.

In 2023, after Fermín was named Man of the Match in Barcelona's Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk, his father, also named Fermín, was interviewed by AS and shared insights about his son's character and development. Fermín's father particularly emphasized his son's fighting spirit and competitive nature.

"The boy has personality, he's a dynamic person and loves to compete, just as everyone says. Everything is going very well, the boy is becoming more confident every day, and I think he's in great form," Fermín's father said at the time.

According to him, one of the keys to his son's development is the ability to maintain confidence in difficult situations. He did not view Fermín's loan spell at Linares in the previous season as a negative experience, but rather believed it was crucial for his son's career.

"That period was a bit tough. There are many excellent players in Primera Federación, players who had come down from higher divisions, and the competition was fierce. But the boy adapted very well and showed a fighting spirit, which was remarkable for everyone. We are very grateful to Linares," he reflected.

That experience helped Fermín accumulate knowledge, play away from Barcelona, and adapt to a more physically demanding and intense style of play before returning to the club. Fermín's father also mentioned that his son has always had a strong emotional connection to Barcelona, and his uncle is also a Barcelona fan. However, he himself is a true Betis supporter. Fermín joined La Masia at age 13, having previously played in Real Betis's youth academy.

Fermín's father also praised the daily efforts of Barcelona's youth academy. Over many years, he attended matches of the youth teams at all levels and witnessed firsthand the quality of the club's young players.

"I have watched Barcelona's youth academy matches for seven years, not just my son's, but also his teammates'. When we came to Barcelona to visit him, he would also take us to watch matches of various La Masia teams," he explained.

Fermín's father believes what sets La Masia apart is that young players get opportunities to reach the first team. "There are certainly excellent children in other academies, but La Masia is different. Xavi is a player Barcelona developed themselves, and the club really trusts these young players. Here, they have opportunities, something they might not have elsewhere," he said.

Speaking about his son's playing style, Fermín's father emphasized his hunger for goals. "The boy has only goals in his eyes, he has a strong will to win, is very competitive, and is also a great person off the pitch," he stated.

He also highlighted Fermín's character away from football. Despite having become a professional player, in his father's eyes, Fermín remains a normal, humble young man who is deeply connected to his hometown. "The boy grew up in a small town where everyone knows each other, so he has always been very down-to-earth and humble," he said.

At that time, Fermín was not only focused on football. While playing professionally, he was also pursuing a degree in CAFYD—Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte (Physical Activity and Sports Science)—at university. Fermín's father said that Fermín and his older brother were both good students, and despite the difficulty of balancing professional football, Fermín continued to study.
