The Fermín López file in Chelsea enters its last hours. Strongly courted by Chelsea, the 22 -year -old midfielder from Barça must give a final response today according to Mundo Deportivoafter several days of reflection with those around him. A possible departure would imply a change of club, but also of countries, language and culture, despite the guarantees given by Enzo Maresca on its central role in the event of arrival in the London club.
The blues, which also aim at Alejandro Garnacho or Xavi Simons, await a green light from the player before formulating an official offer. But the positions seem far away: Chelsea would be ready to put around 50 million euros, but Barça requires at least 70 million to give in its young prodigy. A few hours before the deadline, Fermín's decision remains open and will determine if Chelsea takes action or definitively turns the page. The transfer is also slowed down by Hansi Flick, who militates with his management to keep his playmaker.
