Chelsea’s bold attempt to land Fermín López has been firmly rejected by Barcelona. According to reports, the Premier League side put forward a €50 million offer for the 21-year-old midfielder. However, Barça consider Fermín untouchable, with head coach Hansi Flick counting on him as a key part of his plans. The Catalan club values the youngster at no less than €100 million, reflecting both his potential and the inflated state of today’s transfer market. Fermín himself has expressed happiness at Barcelona, stressing he feels confident and ready to play a major role this season. For now, the message from Camp Nou is clear: Fermín is not for sale.
