"Chelsea are reportedly ready to go all out with a transfer bid for Barcelona attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez. The Blues are said to be prepared to go all in' with a huge offer worth as much as 150m to sign Lopez from Barca, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. This would be quite un-Chelsea-like under their current owners, as they've tended to prioritise smart spending on lesser-known young talents for the future."
"At the same time, however, Fichajes' report suggests the Catalan giants' financial issues might mean they'd find it hard to ignore a bid as high as 150m. Fermin Lopez to Chelsea could be a superb transfer to boost Liam Rosenior Fermin Lopez celebrates a goal for Barcelona (Photo by Yasser Bakhsh/Getty Images) Chelsea have just brought in Liam Rosenior as their new manager to replace Enzo Maresca, and he'll surely be keen to make some changes to the squad he's inherited at Stamford Bridge."
"It's not been the best season for CFC, hence the change in manager, and someone like Lopez coming in could be a big boost to improve the team's results and performances. The talented 22-year-old has eight goals and six assists for Barcelona so far this season, and can offer a threat from a variety of attacking positions. Capable of playing up front, out wide, or as a number ten, Lopez could be an upgrade on some recent underwhelming Chelsea signings in those positions."
Chelsea are prepared to offer up to 150m to sign Barcelona attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez. The proposed bid contrasts with Chelsea's recent strategy of prioritising smart spending on lesser-known young talents. Lopez is a 22-year-old Barcelona regular with eight goals and six assists this season and can play centrally, wide, or as a number ten. Barcelona's financial difficulties could make a large offer hard to ignore. New Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior could give Lopez a key role to boost results and replace underperforming attacking signings such as Cole Palmer, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens.
