Before the summer transfer window closed, midfielder Fermin Lopes made a final decision regarding his future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to the Mundo Deportivo publication, 22-year-old Lopes has decided to stay at Barcelona. The source stated that Lopes had doubts amid serious interest from Chelsea.
However, Fermin chose not to take risks and decided not to request a transfer from Barcelona to London. No transfer options for Fermin Lopes were considered by Barcelona.
Additionally, the offer of 40 million euros plus bonuses from Chelsea was considered below market value. If Lopes had asked to leave the club, the "blaugrana" team would have been ready to negotiate.
But such a situation did not occur. Thus, the midfielder will continue his career at Barcelona and has made a clear decision to remain with the team before the summer transfer window closes.
This decision is significant for both the player and the club and will contribute to strengthening the team in the future.
