The Spanish newspaper 'Marca' revealed that Chelsea FC did not make an official offer to acquire young midfielder Firmin Lopez from Barcelona during the summer transfer window, but rather limited itself to an email expressing its willingness to pay 40 million euros, which the Catalan club considered a non-serious offer and did not respond to.

Despite rumors of offers reaching 58 or even 90 million euros, the report confirms that Barcelona and Chelsea did not initiate any official negotiations, and what circulated regarding these figures originated from the player's surroundings rather than the English club.

For his part, Firmin Lopez showed some hesitation in the last days of the transfer window, especially with his limited participation, but he did not formally request to leave. Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, stated that the player needed to submit a personal request to leave if he desired to do so, as other players had done in the past, but this did not happen.

Barcelona, despite financial pressures and financial fair play regulations, sees Firmin as a young player with great potential and a promising future, and does not intend to part with him for an amount less than 70 million euros, especially with the outstanding performance he has delivered while wearing the team's jersey and his achievements with the Spanish national team.

Thus, the debate over Firmin Lopez's future comes to an end, as he will continue his career at Camp Nou, with no agreement with Chelsea or current intention to leave.
