Fermin Lopez – Chelsea are actively monitoring Fermin Lopez, the highly rated Barcelona midfielder, as part of their summer transfer plans, reports The Athletic. The 21-year-old has become one of the most exciting young players in La Liga, and his performances haven’t gone unnoticed at Stamford Bridge.
Having broken into Xavi’s senior squad last season, Fermin contributed important goals and brought flair to Barça’s midfield — traits Chelsea are now seriously interested in bringing to west London.
💼 Could a Deal Happen?
While Barcelona view Fermin as part of their long-term project, the Catalan club’s ongoing financial challenges could tempt them to cash in — especially if Chelsea come forward with a substantial offer. It remains unclear whether the Blues would look to pursue a permanent move or potentially seek a loan with an option to buy.
Chelsea have already made several moves in the transfer market, but the club is still looking for a creative spark in midfield. Fermin could offer just that — with his eye for goal and technical ability matching the club’s current recruitment profile.
No formal bid has been submitted as of now, but sources suggest internal discussions at Chelsea are ongoing regarding a potential approach.
