Priced at 70 million euros! Barcelona is willing to let midfield star join Chelsea

According to The Athletic, Chelsea is evaluating the possibility of introducing Barcelona midfielder Fermin, but no formal negotiations have been held between the two clubs.

Sources revealed that Fermin is open to joining Chelsea, and Barcelona can also accept Fermin's departure, especially considering that Szczesny, Valdegi and Martin have not completed the registration. For the price, Barcelona requires at least 70 million euros to receive a transfer fee, while Chelsea hopes to make a deal of 50 million euros. There is a gap in expectations between the two sides. In terms of personal treatment, Fermin's annual salary in Barcelona is 6 million euros. After joining Chelsea, he can get an annual salary of 15 million euros. In addition, Chelsea is willing to promise him the main position.

Chelsea has added 6 new players this summer, with only Essugo from Portugal Sports being a midfielder. At the same time, Hall, Chukuemeka, Ugochuku and others have permanently left the team.

22-year-old Fermin renewed his contract with Barcelona in October last year, extending his contract to 2029.

He missed for more than a month due to a thigh injury at the beginning of the 2024/25 season, but he still played in 46 games since then (most of which came on the bench), contributing 8 goals and 10 assists. Especially in the last five games of the season, he scored goals in 3 games, helping the team win the La Liga championship smoothly.

Felmin joined Barcelona youth training camp La Macia from Real Betis at the age of 12, and made his mark after playing for the SIPC team Linares on loan in the 2022/23 season.

In the subsequent 2023/24 season, he played in 43 games under former coach Xavi, and officially gained a foothold in the first team. In terms of the national team, Fermin completed his Spanish team's debut in June 2024.

At present, Frick has a very sufficient midfielder, including Pedri, De Jong, Ormo, Casado and Garvey. The midfielder Bernard, who is only 18 years old, missed most of the seasons due to a serious cruciate ligament injury, will soon return.

Finally, do you think Barcelona should sell Fermin?
