According to well-known transfer reporter Romano, Chelsea quoted Felmin for 40 million before the transfer window is closed, and this offer is a tentative offer.
Romano said that Chelsea may consider that Barcelona has more players in this position and may also consider Barcelona's financial situation, so they want to try it out, after all, this is an opportunity to sign Fermin. From a tactical perspective, Chelsea is not in a hurry to strengthen this position, but they see the possibility of signing Felmin.
So Chelsea's idea is probably: if you can sign it, that's good, and if you can't sign it, I wish him good luck. But Felming will continue to be on Chelsea's signing list in the future, and he will also be the focus of the Blues in the future. But whether the deal can be achieved ultimately depends on the player's own wishes.
In addition, Barcelona sources have always said that they have never thought of selling the players, nor have they received a signal that the players themselves want to leave the team; what's more, 40 million euros? Don't even think about it. For Fermin, even if he wants to sell, the psychological price must be more than twice this number, but Barcelona does not intend to sell him.
So, I think the deal for Chelsea to buy Felmin was difficult to succeed from the beginning, but Chelsea still tried it, which also shows that their interest in this player will continue.
