THE BIGGER PICTURE
Hansi Flick sees the attacking midfielder as an important part in his plans, especially after his breakout run in the final stretch of last season where he helped secure Barcelona’s league title. With a contract running until 2029, Barca feel secure in negotiations and are in no rush to sell. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain one of Europe’s most aggressive spenders in the market, having already invested nearly €280m (£235m/$305m) on 18 signings this summer.

Getty ImagesWHAT NEXT?
The Blues must decide whether to meet Barcelona’s €70m valuation to have any chance of landing Fermin. The Blaugrana club, for now, remain calm and expect the player to stay unless a massive bid arrives. After being on the bench during the club’s 3-2 comeback against Levante, Fermin will hope to feature in the upcoming clash with Rayo Vallecano.
