Chelsea consider Barca winger
- Published
Chelsea are interested in Barcelona winger Fermin Lopez but it remains to be seen where it sits in relation to other transfer activity.
The 22-year-old is admired with Barcelona often looking to raise further finances amid their own Financial Fair Play constraints in La Liga.
However, with the Blues having yet to contact the Spanish club directly, it remains unclear whether Lopez could join Chelsea this summer.
Lopez has scored 19 goals with 11 further assists in 89 appearances for Barcelona but was an unused substitute on Saturday for the trip to Levante.
Chelsea are known to be seriously targeting multiple additional attackers but are expected to make moves for Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho and midfielder Xavi Simons instead.
They also need to sell or loan certain attackers, like Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Tyrique George, who could all leave before the transfer deadline next week.
The addition of Lopez is acknowledgement of a potential alternative option amid active negotiations on multiple fronts.
