Chelsea signed Jorrel Hato of Ajax Amsterdam last week and is a strong focus on signing a midfielder before the start of the Premier League campaign in 10 days when Crystal Palace Stamford Bridge visits on Matchday One.
RB Leipzig -star Xavi Simons has been strongly connected to a transfer to London in recent weeks and although a deal could quickly materialize for him, the blues are interested in another beautiful young talent.
According to appropriate offsideChelsea makes an offer in line worth £ 52 million for Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez. He scored eight goals and offered 10 assists in all competitions Last season, and is one of the best graduates in the generation of La Masia.
Manchester United also wanted to sign Fermin Lopez, but the Red Devils did not succeed in materializing their interest, so that Chelsea could surpass them to the Spaniard if they can start formal conversations kickstarts.
Chelsea would be favorites for Fermin Lopez
Fermin Lopez has been an asset to Barcelona, but with the Catalans who want to recover from a financial malaise, they are expected to punish the departure of the 22-year-old for the correct amount, and the supposed supply of Chelsea of £ 52 million could do well.
The blues will be their chances of signing the player over Manchester United, who likes to continue to sign a midfielder, but prefer a deep -drove profile in contrast to someone who plays higher on the field.
The attacking midfielder of Barca occasionally played as a central midfielder under Hansi Flick, but his attributes can best be exploited in a more advanced role and on the wings, in contrast to a role closer to the defensive third of the field.
That said, it is still to see whether the player himself is willing to leave Barcelona because he remained happy in the club, especially for Chelsea, where the competition for places can continue to miss him of the regular playing time.
