Fermin Lopez admitted he was happy to receive the attention from Chelsea, but confirmed that he had no intention of leaving Barca during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea targeted Fermin Lopez as a potential target in the summer of 2025, and negotiated with the midfielder's representative about moving to Stamford Bridge. However, Barca is not very impressed with Chelsea's offer for this 22 -year -old player.
Specifically, the initial proposal worth 40 million euros (£ 34.8 million) of the Blues was immediately rejected by Barca. Barca wanted at least 70 million euros to their stars, they waited for the Blues to send more suggestions, but in the end the British team chose to sign a loan with Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton.

Barc's head coach, Hansi Flick also made it clear that he wanted Fermin to stay in the club and the midfielder was part of his plan this season. Latest, Fermin answered Mundo Deportivo when asked about Chelsea's attention. He said:
“My priority is always to stay in Barca. I came here when I was 12 years old, my dream was to be here, I was on the first team. I was very happy and proud to receive the attention from other teams, but the truth was that I always prioritized to stay in Barca.
When asked about the support he received from coach Flick, Fermin answered: “That is very important, because I always fight to be here, to play for Barca. You know, in football, you never know anything in advance and there are things that do not depend on you, but my first priority is always in Barca.
He was a coach, he helped me feel more confident. The whole team supported me this week, and everyone wanted me to stay. I really appreciate the support from the dressing room. ”
