According to World Sports, Chelsea is still pursuing Felmin but has not sent a offer yet, and Barcelona will only consider letting go if they receive a offer of 90 million euros.
Currently, there are only three days left before the transfer window is closed, and Fermin's future is full of uncertainty. Fermin's contract with Barcelona will expire in 2029, including a termination clause of 500 million euros.
Felming's side has remained silent since Chelsea's strong interest surfaced and ruled out the possibility of public statements this Friday. His core circle is also tight-lipped, refusing to make any confirmation or clarification of the players' future intentions, which undoubtedly aggravates the speculation from the outside world.
Fermin's first choice has always been to stay in Barcelona, and the club and coach Frick also hopes that he will continue to stay in the team. When asked last week about the possibility of transfers between Fermin and Casardo, Frick made it clear: "I don't want any player to leave." He then conveyed the idea to Fermin himself.
However, things are changing subtly. 24 hours ago, the players also insisted that he planned to stay in the team, believing that his love for Barcelona and his desire to play for the dream club are far more important than a generous economic offer. But now, some sources close to the players believe that leaving may be a better choice given the stronger economic and competitive conditions proposed by Chelsea.
With Simmons joining Tottenham for 60 million euros, Felmin's team had expected Chelsea to make a higher offer on Friday than the initial 50 million euros plus floating clause.
According to internal news from Barcelona, this "super offer" from Chelsea had not arrived until Friday night. Chelsea's intention is to convince the players themselves, and Fermin is still sticking to the idea of staying at the team. Barcelona's position is very clear: they will only consider letting go if they receive a quotation of 90 million euros.
