Flick 'convinced' Chelsea target Lopez will stay
Briefly

Hansi Flick said he is convinced Fermín López will remain at Barcelona but cannot guarantee the midfielder will not depart before the transfer window closes. Flick reported that he has spoken with Fermín and that the player's final decision remains uncertain. Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, have expressed interest, and Barcelona are reportedly open to significant offers to comply with LaLiga financial rules. Fermín, 22, has scored 19 goals in 89 appearances since 2023 but has often been used as a substitute due to intense midfield competition. Flick emphasized Fermín's importance and distinct playing style.
I spoke with him. I'm convinced that he will stay, but at the end I don't know what happens. We have to wait. I am really happy when the market is closed.
I told him my opinion, but it's between him and me. Sometimes players have other thoughts. Around the players are also a lot of people, who know maybe more than we know.
It's a big business. I have to focus on my team and I am really happy Fermín plays for Barça. He's a really important player for us. He showed that last season. His style is different to other players. He can help us a lot.
