Chelsea wants to sign everything and everybody this season. According to Fabrizio, Chelsea has tabled €40 the Barcelona man F. Lopez in a bid to lure him away from the Catalan club but Barcelona insists that his happy and wouldn't want to leave and they themselves are not interested in selling him anytime soon.
Barcelona and Flick confirmed they hope Fermin to stay. However, they up to the player's decision. At the same time, Fermin is still having desire to stay in Barca much longer. it most likely Chelsea's bid getting rejected due to that reason.
I don’t think this transfer is going to happen, Chelsea are showing interest in the player, and I think Barcelona are not ready to let him go now, because Hamsi Flick still sees him as part of his plans for the season, so I’m seeing a situation where he has to stay put, I feel Chelsea are interested in this transfer because they lost out to Xavi Simons to Tottenham, and Chelsea already made a proposal to Barcelona at the amount of €40million, and that is a bad proposal and Barcelona aren’t going to accept that for one of their talented players, I think if Todd Boehly wants that player he has to go higher than that before Barcelona can even listen to their proposal, so right now I don’t see how possible the transfer could go through considering that Chelsea aren’t ready to go higher than that valuation.
Chelsea's in many competitions this season including the Champions league so anything that would increase the depth and avoid the team from being weak when injuries and fatigue start happening to players, I'm in support of them doing it for the team to be successful this season, even though I'm not quite sure they'll reach the Champions League final but if they can go far in the competition and win a trophy, it would be a successful season for the team.
Lopez is a rising star, he's gained lots of experience under Flick and turning into a future talent, he'll be a good addition to Chelsea but Barcelona is the problem holding this deal from happening, they too need their depth to be strong so I doubt if they'll give one of their finest youngsters to Chelsea especially now that the window is almost over and there's little time to scout a proper replacement.
