Chelsea preparing €60m bid for 22-year-old Barcelona star amid Manchester United interest – Report | OneFootball

Fermin Lopez continues to be a reliable asset for FC Barcelona and Hansi Flick. The 22-year-old midfielder offers dynamism and a lot of intensity on the field whenever he is deployed. However, he has attracted some major Premier League interest recently, it seems.

According to the latest update provided by Caught Offside, London-based side Chelsea is preparing a significant offer worth around €60 million for the Spanish midfielder. Interestingly, even Manchester United remains linked to the player.

It is no secret that Chelsea are keen on spending big to assemble a squad that can rival any other in Europe. After all, as the latest winners of the new FIFA Club World Cup, the English side has to defend its own prestige.

The likes of Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap, and Joao Pedro are just a few of the acquisitions that the Premier League side has brought in this summer. However, it would appear that their shopping spree could take them to Catalonia as well, with this interest in Lopez.

With the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United being consistently linked to the Barcelona midfield star in recent weeks, there is a lot for the Catalan side to think about.

They already have a lot of options in midfield, but Lopez offers a unique profile. That is why recent reports suggesting that Hansi Flick would not be open to letting him go make a lot of sense, and La Blaugrana should do whatever they can to retain the player.
