Fermin Lopez is the target of Chelsea in the summer of 2025. |
Chelsea is said to have made the first offer for Lopez for about £ 43 million at the beginning of the week but was rejected by Barca. It is reported that Barca will demand about £ 60 million, but the Spanish Mundo Deportivo newspaper said the La Liga champion has now increased the request to 90 million euros (£ 78 million).
Barca claimed that Lopez was not for sale, but of course it would consider if there was an irresistible offer. Lopez is said to be seriously considering his future at Barca, he had telephone conversations with Chelsea coach Maresca.
The negotiations between the two clubs also took place, with both Hansi Flick and Deco said they wanted Lopez to stay but would not hinder if he wanted to leave. Last season, Lopez had more than 40 appearances for Barca, helping Flick's team to win a spectacular treble and reach the Champions League semi -finals.
He also had two captures of the Spanish team and gaurs winning the Euro 2024 championship last summer.
Barca has started the promising new La Liga season when defeating Mallorca and Levante. This weekend, they will face Rayo Vallecano. Chelsea also impressed when defeating West Ham with a score of 5-1 in the last match after the Crystal Palace draw 0-0 in the first round.
