Fermin Lopez wants Barcelona stay as Chelsea told they must pay €90m for Spanish champions to consider selling midfielder
Chelsea, though, are not taking no for an answer. Having lifted both the Conference League and the Club World Cup last season, they see Lopez as the jewel needed to continue their rebuild. The west London club reportedly gave the midfielder a 48-hour ultimatum to respond to their contract proposal, an offer that far exceeded his current wages at Barcelona. Yet the deadline passed without movement, leaving the Blues frustrated but not deterred. Inside Stamford Bridge, Lopez remains a priority target, even as they continue stockpiling other attacking recruits.
