Chelsea have reportedly submitted an official bid to sign Barcelona star Fermin Lopez in the summer transfer window.
The Blues have been linked with a move for the attacking midfielder, who can also play on the wing, over the past week after selling Christopher Nkunku to AC Milan for €42 million (£36m).
The 22-year-old, who broke into Barcelona’s senior side in 2023, registered six goals and five assists in 28 La Liga appearances last season as they won the Primera Division title.
Chelsea submit transfer bid for Barcelona star Fermin Lopez
Chelsea are hoping to make Lopez their ninth new signing of the summer after offering a €40 million (£36.6m) transfer fee, according to Fabrizio Romano.
It’s claimed that Barcelona have “no plans to sell” the Spain international. They will only contemplate a deal if the player asks to leave.
It has previously been reported that Barça want more than €60 million (£52m) for Lopez, who has also been linked with Newcastle United.
