Chelsea made a first offered 58 million euros, but he did not succeed in reaching an agreement with Barca, to return with a higher offer of about 7 million euros, worth 65 million euros, hoping this time that this time he succeeded in reaching the deal to security.
The Spanish newspaper Sport reported that Chelsea showed a great seriousness by raising its offer, which will mean Barcelona obtaining the aforementioned amount as a fixed value against the player’s card, which coach Enzo Marisca sees an important piece within his new project in Stamford Bridge.
The Italian coach moved himself and continued with Firmin Lopez to persuade him of the idea of joining the Blues, and he told him that he would be an important player from his first day in the team, knowing that the German coach Hans Felk aspires to continue his choice in the new season.
Sport noted that Chelsea’s new offer will make Barcelona reconsider his position on selling the player’s contract, which she intended not to give up his services because of Felk’s need for him.
For his part, Firmin still adheres to the idea of survival and success in Barcelona, and yet the door does not close the Blues due to the strength of the offer economically (by doubling his annual salary) and sports.
