Marca said the incident happened more than a month ago when Barcelona director Deco received an email from Chelsea informing the team about their interest in Fermin. Although it is not a formal offer, Chelsea said they can pay about 40 million euros for the Felmin. Deco didn't even reply to the email because he thought the amount was ridiculous.
The summer window of the five major leagues has ended, and Barcelona midfielder Fermin finally stayed with the team and did not join Chelsea. Spanish media Marca said that Barcelona believes that the 40 million euro price offered by Chelsea is too low.
