Chelsea was interested in signing an attacking midfielder this summer, and despite the fact that he had a long -term interest in Xavi Simons, Tottenham Hotspur ran their deal for the Dutch international.
Barcelona Fermin Lopez was another player who was on their radar with Enzo Maresca who personally spoke with the player, although nothing has come for him. The first conversations between the clubs also took place.
The national you reported The fact that Chelsea will restore their interest in Fermin Lopez in January and, depending on his role under Hansi Flick, could consider the 22-year-old Barcelona to leave halfway through the season.
The Catalans ask for his sale at least £ 52 million, and such an offer would probably be enough to convince them to sell the La Masia graduate because their attempt to balance their books remains in another campaign.
Fermin a solid purchase for Chelsea
Fermin Lopez would be an excellent signing for Chelsea. His strong dribbling in the last third part, shots from distance and late runs in the box will be an asset to the blues, while Cole Palmer can also be used in a more advanced role in the attack.
Lopez also brings more to the table without the ball than Palmer, so his high working speed without possession will ensure that he regularly plays under Enzo Maresca when he signs up for the Londoners.
He has only played 73 minutes in two La Liga matches For Barcelona this season, and was an unused replacement on an occasion, so by the way, it will be at the beginning of 2025/26, Chelsea will believe that they have a strong chance of signing him in January.
A possible transfer for Fermin Lopez could see Chelsea look at a part of one of their attacking names next year, and with Pedro Neto that may be hit by Cole Palmer who goes to the right, his future is perhaps also worthwhile to be an eye.
