I'm a bit surprised by Chelsea transfer strategy, they seem to want to sign every talented young player. Hansi Flick has said he will try to keep Fermin Lopez, but he hasn't ruled out the possibility that Barcelona might sell him if they receive an attractive offer. Barcelona financial situation isn't fully stable yet, and Chelsea might be looking to take advantage of that, thinking Barcelona would let Fermin Lopez go for a low price. With the transfer window closing soon, Newcastle is also reportedly joining the race to sign Fermin Lopez.
Fermin Lopez is not making any exits from Barcelona this summer because he's one of the most important player for the club and his presence really do matters in the team. Hansi Flick can really make good use of his presence in the squad, afterall he's been performing at a top level and wouldn't give up not now that's he's in the spotlight already. Chelsea are keen on bringing in him over to Stamford Bridge where he would experience entirely another atmosphere where his style of play will be highly enchanced and appreciated by the supporters and his teammates.
There are other teams interested in getting the signature of Lopez but what's the main cause of Barcelona in this deal? They're more hopeful they're buckling the contract and mindset of their player this summer, well let's watch how things will later fold up for these sides.
