Barcelona has made it plain what their attitude is on Fermin Lopez.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants will not let the excellent midfielder depart for less than €70 million.
Chelsea has shown a significant interest in the 22-year-old midfielder for months. Chelsea’s infatuation for Fermin is no secret, although no formal bid has been made.
Barcelona discusses the subject.
According to the site, Barcelona club executives discussed the subject on Tuesday, following claims in both England and Spain.
However, Barça’s stance remains unchanged: they see Fermin as an essential member of the squad, and any transfer will be considered only if two key conditions are met.
First, the player would need to request an exit. Second, the offer would have to be financially considerable, given Premier League clubs’ large spending capacity.
Chelsea, for their part, are not wasting any time. According to reports, the Blues have given Fermin 48 hours to determine whether he wants to leave Barcelona for Stamford Bridge.

If the midfielder agrees, Chelsea is set to present a formal approach immediately.
However, for the move to occur, the offer must be not just the largest of the summer, but also one that persuades Barcelona.
No rush to sell.
The Catalan club is well aware of Chelsea’s interest and financial muscle, but they remain confident in their value.
Fermin is attached to the club’s long-term goals, thus Barça will only part ways if all of the prerequisites are met.
The ball is currently in Fermin’s court. His decision in the next days might determine if Chelsea makes a bid or whether he continues his development at Barcelona, where he is still regarded as one of the club’s most promising young players.
