Barcelona is ready for a busy last few days of the summer transfer window, and the big story will solve around Fermin Lopez. The midfielder attracts strong interest from Chelsea, who seems determined to take him to Stamford Bridge before Monday's deadline.
Earlier in the week, Chelsea submitted an offer of € 50 million for Fermin, although it was thrown away by Barcelona, which is assumed that it is at least € 70 million looking. The Premier League side did not deter that and they are willing to get closer to the appreciation set by the ruling La Liga champions.
In the meantime, Fermin has considered his future. It is believed that his preference has to stay in Barcelona, but given that Chelsea has offered him a raised squadron role, he thinks of a movement.
And in the last 24 hours, Chelsea has increased their efforts to convince Fermin of the move, as reported by Ben Jacobs. It is noted that the Londoners, who won the Club World Cup earlier this summer, still “seriously explore a movement”, in which the Spain International also spoke with head coach Enzo Maresca.
Barcelona would rather give Fermin to stay with the club, although his exit would considerably allocate their well -documented financial misery. And and ensuring that the will of Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin and Roony Bardghji are registered with La Liga, it can also allow a late signing.
Barcelona is well covered with the attacking of midfield, with Flick with Dani Olmo, Gavi, Raphinha, Dro Fernandez and Guille Fernandez as options outside of Fermin. However, it would still be a big blow to the 22-year-old to leave, given the impact he made since he broke into the first team under Xavi Hernandez two years ago.
