Chelsea are monitoring Marc Bernal's progress. Bernal has a contract with Barcelona that runs until 2029, and the player remains determined to establish himself at Camp Nou. Barcelona has no intention of selling him, and there is currently no indication that the club is prepared to open negotiations. Bernal has received assurances that he features in Hansi Flick’s plans.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Chelsea have shown interest in Marc Bernal and have contacted Barcelona to inquire about his potential availability. Marc Bernal has shown absolute loyalty to Barcelona and has rejected interested clubs. Bernal intends to remain at Barcelona and develop under Hansi Flick. A €500m release clause in Bernal's contract protects the club.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Marc Bernal has emerged as a target for Chelsea. The club was unable to convince the teenager to leave his boyhood club to sign at Stamford Bridge. Bernal had been offered a long-term deal with the Stamford Bridge side but would have been loaned out to sister club BlueCo for his first season. It was an offer that was unable to convince the youngster.

Chelsea are interested in signing 18-year-old Spanish Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal as a long-term target to add quality and depth, according to a report from Fichajes. The club has reportedly turned its attention to the defensive midfielder after initially being keen on his teammate, Fermin Lopez. Other clubs, including Manchester United and Newcastle United, have also been linked with Bernal. It is thought that Chelsea possess the finances to tempt Barcelona, who are experiencing financial difficulties. The player recently returned from a serious ACL injury that sidelined him for 383 days and caused him to miss 61 matches. A move to the Premier League club may only be considered if Bernal is assured of regular playing time, which is seen as crucial for his development. His contract with Barcelona expires on June 30, 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5 million.
