Chelsea are interested in signing the Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez during the summer transfer window.
According to Fichajes, the Blues are now ready to shake up the transfer market after winning the FIFA Club World Cup. They are now planning to offer over £43 million for the Barcelona midfielder.
Lopez has been linked with Liverpool as well. In addition to that, there have been rumours of Chelsea submitting an offer for Lopez in the past.
Fermin Lopez would be a superb addition
Lopez is highly rated across Europe, and he has been labelled as an “exceptional” player in the past. He has all the tools to develop into a quality midfielder. He is already an important player for the Spanish club, and he could develop into a superstar in future.
Chelsea could use more depth in the middle of the park, and the 22-year-old would be a solid long-term investment for them. However, it will be difficult for Chelsea to convince Barcelona to sell the player. The Spanish champions need to hold onto their best young players to build a formidable squad for the future, and Lopez is an indispensable asset.
The 22-year-old is unlikely to force an exit from his boyhood club either. It will be interesting to see how Chelsea can get the deal across the line.
