Fermín is from El Campillo, Huelva, so you could give him a light Andalusian Spanish, but without writing it in an exaggerated way.
I would use things like:

"What are you doing?"
"Uncle"
“Come on.”
"Oh really?"
“No way.”
“Don’t mess with me.”
“Come on now.”
“Where are you from?”

Fermín is a player who came up through the youth ranks at El Campillo until 2011 and later played for the youth teams of Recreativo de Huelva in the 2011-12 season and Real Betis from 2012 to 2016. In the 2016-17 season, he joined La Masía to become part of FC Barcelona's Infantil "A" team, progressing through the ranks until the 2021-22 season when he joined the Juvenil "A" team, with whom he won the División de Honor League and the Copa de Campeones double.

Once the training stage was over, in 2022 he renewed his contract with FC Barcelona for two seasons until 2024. On August 18 of that year he went on loan to Linares Deportivo of the Spanish First Federation.

He made his debut with Barça's first team in a 5-3 friendly defeat to Arsenal FC. On July 29, 2023, he scored and provided an assist in a 3-0 victory over Real Madrid. Two months later, he scored his first official goal in a 2-2 draw with RCD Mallorca in La Liga. In the Champions League, he scored two goals, the last of which came in a 3-1 victory over SSC Napoli in the round of 16. By this time, he was a full member of the first team. Among his goals was one against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In the final match of the season, he reached 11 goals, securing his place as the second-highest scorer of the campaign.

On October 21, 2025, he scored a hat trick against Olympiacos FC in a UEFA Champions League match, becoming the first Spaniard to achieve this feat in the competition. A month later, coinciding with his first match at Camp Nou, he played his 100th game for Barcelona and celebrated by scoring a goal against Athletic Club. The following January 30, he reached an agreement with the club to improve and extend his contract until June 2031.

On October 17, 2023, he made his debut with the Spain under-21 team in a qualifying match for the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship against Kazakhstan, in which he scored a goal. On June 5, he made his debut with the senior team in a friendly against Andorra, contributing to the victory by providing an assist to Ferran Torres, and two days later he was called up to participate in the 2024 European Championship, in which he contributed in one match and won the championship.

On June 22nd, he was called up by Santi Denia for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. In the tournament, he played as an attacking midfielder and started in every match except the last group stage game, proving decisive by scoring six goals and finishing as the second-highest scorer of the championship, behind Morocco's Soufiane Rahimi. The Spanish Olympic football team was crowned champion for the second time in its history, following the Olympic gold medal won 32 years earlier at the 1992 Barcelona Games. In the final, played on August 9th at the Parc des Princes stadium, the Spanish team defeated the host nation, France, 5-3, with two goals from Fermín. With this gold medal, Fermín, along with his teammate Álex Baena and France's Albert Rust, are the only players to win both the European Championship and Olympic gold in the same year.
