Barca are also in need to register some top sales soon. Hence, Chelsea are looking to take advantage of this situation. According to El Chiringuito via Football Espana, the Blues have submitted an offer of €75 million to sign Fermin Lopez.
Barca can opt to sell Lopez as the transfer fee will help them in getting the finances back on track. In addition, Lopez is not their regular starter. Hence, it will not make a huge difference to not have him in the squad for next season.
However, Lopez is very happy at Barca. He views the Spanish champions as the club of his life. Lastly, there has not been any sign from Barca yet about being unhappy with Lopez. The player scored 8 goals and picked 9 assists in recent season despite playing very less than others.
