Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez has opened up on his decision to stay at the LaLiga champions, despite interest from Chelsea late in the summer transfer window.
Speculation swirled around the 22-year-old during the final week of the window, with the Blues holding talks with the Catalan giants over the Spain international.
The Blues made initial contact in late August regarding a move for the attacking midfielder, who was a key part of Hansi Flick's side last season, and discussions were held over submitting a £40million bid.
Marca has now revealed that Chelsea sent an informal £34.
