Newcastle United are reportedly preparing an even more ambitious €100 million bid, along with a salary package that could quadruple Fermin’s current earnings.

The Sun reports on Newcastle United's interest in Barcelona's Fermin Lopez and their potential bid to outbid Chelsea. Newcastle United have shown interest in Barcelona's Fermin Lopez and are reportedly willing to offer up to £87 million, potentially outbidding Chelsea's £35 million offer. Manager Hansi Flick believes Lopez will stay at Barcelona but is uncertain about what will happen before the end of the transfer window.

Newcastle is very interested in signing Fermin Lopez and is ready to offer 100 million euros to complete the transfer. The club also wishes to quadruple his salary. Initial contacts have already taken place, although FC Barcelona is not keen on letting him go.

Fermin Lopez has rejected an offer from Newcastle United that would have doubled his wages. He has chosen to remain at Barcelona, where he has stability and playing time. Fermin is under contract until 2027 and is seen as an increasingly important player for Barcelona’s future.
