Barça is experiencing a hectic final few hours of the transfer window with several deals on the table. Fermín López's name has made headlines after strong interest from Chelsea. However, from Camp Nou offices, they insist that nothing has been finalized yet.
Talks with the London club are progressing, but the midfielder hasn't given his final yes yet. Although the offer is worth millions, Barça aren't ruling out the possibility that the deal could fall through. Meanwhile, Deco is already working on another negotiation involving one of La Masia's gems.

Open negotiations with Chelsea
Chelsea have been pushing for weeks to sign the midfielder from Huelva. Initially, they submitted a proposal of fifty million, which Joan Laporta immediately rejected. Now, the English club is willing to go up to seventy million to convince the board.
The decision won't be easy. Fermín López has always been considered untouchable by Hansi Flick, who didn't want to listen to offers for him. The player himself is seriously considering the possibility of leaving to gain international prominence.
The blaugrana club, aware of the pressure, isn't closing the door on a historic sale. However, they also make it clear that there's still no agreement and everything will depend on upcoming meetings. Uncertainty surrounds the case and keeps both the locker room and the fans on edge.

Another deal in progress
While Fermín's future is being solved, Deco is simultaneously advancing with another unexpected negotiation. Barça needs to generate income and free up salary mass before the window closes. The solution has been to accept an offer of seventeen million euros ($18.4 million) for another young prospect.
This deal, unlike Fermín's, is much more on track. The player has already given the green light to move on and seek continuity. The buying club is convinced that this is a unique opportunity to strengthen its squad.
Barça, which is going through a complicated financial situation, understands that this sale will give its accounts some breathing room. In addition, it will keep certain rights over the footballer's future so as not to lose control of his development entirely.

Mallorca's role
The team that has taken the lead in this race is Mallorca, very active in this transfer window's final stretch. After recent moves, the Bermellón club has sent representatives to Barcelona to close the deal as soon as possible. Everything indicates that the negotiation will be finalized in the coming hours.
The Balearic side is looking to strengthen its squad with young talent from the blaugrana academy. With long-term contracts, they aim to turn these prospects into pillars of their sports project. In this context, the arrival of another blaugrana gem fits perfectly into their plan.
The good relationship between Mallorca and Barça has facilitated a quick agreement with few obstacles. The directors of both clubs see this deal as a beneficial move for all parties. Meanwhile, the blaugrana fans watch with concern as the academy continues to bleed talent.

Finally, the name of the other footballer preparing to leave has been revealed. The player who will leave Barça for seventeen million euros ($18.4 million) is Dani Rodríguez. The midfielder, represented by Pini Zahavi, is in advanced talks to sign with Mallorca.
His departure confirms that Barça is experiencing a summer marked by difficult decisions and strategic deals. While the Fermín López case remains open, Dani Rodríguez is already preparing his farewell to Camp Nou. The board, despite criticism, argues that these are necessary moves for the club's financial survival.
