Chelsea want to take a player from FC Barcelona. The English team is experiencing one of its most particular transfer markets. The 'blue' have closed almost 10 new signings and their current squad is huge. Even so, the owner of the team, Todd Boehly, is willing to go for more to take his team to the top in Europe.
Right now, no club is safe and with Chelsea's money anything could be expected. So the culé board must hurry, since they have become interested in Fermín López. All this thanks to his extraordinary participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he scored six goals in six games, two of them in the final against France to take the gold.
Just as it happened with Marc Guiu, for whom they paid the 6 million of the termination clause, Chelsea could put Fermín on the table a contract that Barcelona could not match, and pay a transfer that is more than important for the Blaugrana team. The English manager, Enzo Maresca, has been impressed with the tournament that the Spaniard had and believes that his energy is what his team needs to take a step forward in the Premier League.
Fermín is indispensable for Flick
The Barça board can breathe a sigh of relief because, at the moment, the Huelva native is more than happy to give his all at Barcelona. For Hansi Flick, the young midfielder is a key to his plans at the Blaugrana team. Despite the signing of Dani Olmo, Fermín is expected to have a lot of minutes and bring quality to the team from the Ciudad Condal.
The only thing that would change the situation is if the player himself asks to leave the club, something that would not be considered if the sports management moves quickly and extends his contract. Despite signing with Barça until 2027, the idea is to extend his commitment, as well as his salary and his termination clause. The latter could increase and join the players who have 1 billion euros as an escape, such as Pedri, Balde, Ronald Araújo, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres or Gavi.
