FC Barcelona could soon lose one of its most promising circles. According to SportsboomChelsea, who had already attempted his luck during the last summer transfer window, is preparing to return to the charge this winter with an improved offer. The London club, determined to strengthen its midfield, is convinced to have the financial power necessary to convince the Catalan leaders.
Fermin Lopez in the viewfinder of the blues
The player in question is none other than Fermin Lopez, a 22 -year -old nugget already compared to the best young European talents. The Blues had offered nearly 35 million pounds with bonuses to snatch the Spanish international, but Barça had then closed the door. Author of two goals in three Liga games this season, Lopez continues to climb his rating, and Chelsea intends to hit hard in January to attach his services.
The Blues coach, Enzo Maresca, is a longtime admirer of the Spaniard. Frustrated with not having been able to conclude the operation this summer, he considers Lopez as a priority recruit to energize his workforce. With Liam Delap's injury, Chelsea wants a player who can immediately weigh in attack, while registering in a long -term project.
Barça under pressure
Barcelona, for his part, repeats that the player is not for sale. But the club's financial situation and the growing appetite for English clubs could change the situation. Tottenham, Manchester United and other European stables also follow the file, which places Barça in a delicate position. The winter transfer window could thus become a showdown between the Catalan will to keep its nugget and the insistence of Chelsea.
If Lopez joined Stamford Bridge, it would be a new Chelsea shot on the young talent market after Garnacho and Estevao. For Barcelona, on the other hand, this departure would sound like an admission of additional weakness. The question is now whether the Blaugrana will resist the temptation of a big offer in January.
