Fermín López has broken the silence, doing so with the sincerity that characterizes him. In an interview granted to RAC1, the Andalusian midfielder confirmed for the first time that Chelsea tried to convince him to leave FC Barcelona last summer.
The London club presented him with a very high economic proposal, an offer that could have altered the course of his career, but the young footballer chose to stand firm in his commitment to continue with the Blaugrana team.
Chelsea tried repeatedly with Fermín López
The player, currently injured in the psoas area after the match against Getafe, acknowledged that it was an important moment of reflection. "You can always consider things," he admitted, although he emphasized that he never truly intended to leave. In fact, he pointed out that Barça also did not consider his departure. This statement confirms the confidence that both the club and the player have in their future together.
In addition to Chelsea's interest, Fermín revealed that he received proposals from other teams. However, when asked about the possibility of joining Real Madrid, he was categorical: "I don't think so." His commitment to Barcelona is clear, and his desire remains to succeed wearing the Blaugrana shirt, something he has dreamed of since his days at La Masia.
During the conversation, the midfielder also shared more personal aspects. He recalled the tough moment of leaving his home to move to the club's residence: "It was the worst day of my life," he confessed. The support of teammates like Xavi Simons was crucial in overcoming that difficult start. Today, with more maturity, he values that formative process that allowed him to grow as a player and as a person.
Fermín still has a pending dream: to play at the Spotify Camp Nou. He has never played a match there, not even trained or changed in its dressing room. With the stadium's renovation, he will have to wait a while longer to fulfill that longing.

Another highlighted point was his relationship with Gavi, about which rumors of distance circulated. Fermín was clear: "Everything remains the same as always. We have known each other since we were 13 years old, and there are no issues." He took the opportunity to emphasize that he has a good relationship with other young talents like Pedri, Alejandro Balde, or Eric García, among others.
The Andalusian footballer also explained that he works with a personal coach whom he calls every two weeks to strengthen his mental preparation. "In football, you have to be ready for anything," he affirmed. Media pressure and rumors are part of the profession, but he is convinced that both he and the other young players on the first team are prepared to handle it.
With these statements, Fermín not only dispels doubts about his immediate future but also reaffirms his commitment to the Barça project. Chelsea's call was tempting, but the youth academy player prioritized the sporting aspect and his desire to become a reference in the club that gave him the opportunity to reach the elite.
