Chelsea prepare an offensive to 'steal' one of Barça's young stars

Every time he is on the pitch, Fermín López shows that he is one of the most important assets of FC Barcelona at present and, above all, looking ahead. In his first start of the season after his injury and against a rival like Bayern Munich, the Andalusian provided two assists, and three days later he played a good role again while on the field against Real Madrid.

However, the midfielder could find himself at a 'crossroads' within the first team. The returns of Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi, added to the spectacular present of Pedri and Marc Casadó, would reduce López's opportunities in Hansi Flick's scheme, a scenario that several of the big clubs in Europe would like to take advantage of.

Fermín López has a 'sign' in England

And, aware of the potential of the Barça midfielder, the best teams on the continent do not lose track of Fermín. The latest to join the list would be Chelsea, where they are closely following the player's situation in Barcelona. The 'blues' would like to reinforce their midfield and would see in the '16' culé an unbeatable opportunity to accompany Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández in this area of ​​the field.

According to 'El Nacional.cat', the Londoners, aware that Fermín is practically 'untouchable' for Barça, would be willing to make a significant financial effort to secure his transfer. In addition, they would offer the player a leading role in the starting eleven, taking advantage of the player's low rotation in the Blaugrana squad to convince him.

At the moment, López remains focused on his present in Barcelona and there are no signs of any discomfort due to his role in the team, so he could continue betting on success wearing the Blaugrana shirt. However, the Blues' insistence and wallet could be a temptation for the club and the player, although there has not yet been any concrete movement.
