Chelsea have reportedly been given “encouragement” over a possible switch transfer for Barcelona attacking midfielder Fermin Lopez.
The 22-year-old Spain world, who can play as a central attacking midfield participant or winger, has inspired all the way through his time at Barcelona.
Chelsea generally tend to move after younger abilities of Lopez’s profile, and it kind of feels they’re now pursuing a overdue deal for him this summer time, in keeping with Simon Phillips.
Chelsea have had encouragement from Lopez’s camp, so this has resulted in them exchanging in one thing of a verbal from side to side with Barca.

Discussing the Lopez hobby, Phillips mentioned: “Chelsea have been trying to get the player buy in and whilst that isn’t fully there at this point, SPTC Sources have heard that Chelsea have received ‘encouragement’ from Lopez’ camp – hence why they’ve been trying to verbally agree a fee with his club.
“Today, it ideally needs Lopez to go to Barcelona and say he wants to join Chelsea, and then Barca will be willing to agree a fee with Chelsea – although there is no guarantee that the two parties will agree a fee. We are unsure at this point whether Lopez would do this because up until now, it’s always been the belief that he ideally wants to stay at his club so I can’t see him ‘forcing’ a move unfortunately.
“But let’s see what today brings because he’s clearly a bit temped by Chelsea, and The Blues will continue talks this morning with all parties on this one. It’s a moving situation, and can easily move positively quick, or negatively quick. Lets see what happens but as of right now (7am when I wrote this), it’s still in the works and still possible.”
