Twist in the script? Fermín does not rule out negotiating with Chelsea

The future of Fermín López at FC Barcelona just four days before the close of the summer market does not seem to be entirely clear. And the irruption of Chelsea's strong interest in recent hours has blown up the tranquility of the fans of the azulgrana team.

The London team decided to launch into the transfer window for the attacking midfielder from El Campillo, offering, it seems, about 58 million euros, according to recent reports.

Despite this, in recent hours it has emerged that the player would be thinking of negotiating with the Stanford Bridge team, which offers him greater prominence and a salary of at least 15 'kilos' gross per season, unlike the 6 he currently receives at Barça.

Likewise, the 'blue' team's technical director, Enzo Maresca, has already held initial contacts with the '16' of the azulgrana team. However, for now he would not have made a decision.

Fermín López, between the desire for prominence and wanting to succeed at Barça

In this sense, the player knows that for now he does not have guaranteed prominence under the orders of Hansi Flick. He is aware that the German coach prioritizes performance over names.

Therefore, he also considers that, if he stays, he starts with the same possibilities as the rest of his teammates of making a place in the German strategist's XI.

However, the only ones who are currently undisputed starters are Pedri and Lamine Yamal. Now, Fermín wants to succeed at Barça, so he does not want to make a hasty decision, although he knows that time is running out.

It is worth remembering that the player from Huelva, after the match for the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como 1907 that ended 5-0 for the culés, stated that he would stay at the Barcelona team.

“I tell the fans that I want to stay here, the truth is that it is my dream and I will stay. Let them be calm", Fermín pointed out in statements to TV3.

However, with the imminent closure of the transfer window, Fermín will have to make a decision that would give a 180-degree turn to his sports career.

Barça, calm about Chelsea's interest in Fermín López

In this argumentative order, from the Catalan club they would be calmly managing Chelsea's offensive for the '16'. They already knew that both Fermín as Marc Casadó would become real targets of some big team.

Likewise, Barça would have given the attacking midfielder 48 hours to make a decision. In addition, a possible departure of the 22-year-old player would help the Catalan team to improve its economic situation and bring the club closer to the long-awaited 1:1 rule.

Barcelona would be waiting to receive between 60 and 70 million for the '16', but would not close to a negotiation if those figures do not arrive for the midfielder who last season scored 8 goals and assisted in 12 opportunities in 46 matches. Do you think Fermín will leave this summer?
