Chelsea’s summer transfer activity could see more twists, with Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez emerging as a long-term target for the Blues.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder still has four years remaining on his contract at Camp Nou and is said to be happy at Barcelona.
However, Chelsea continue to monitor his situation closely as part of their long-term recruitment strategy.
For now, the club’s focus remains clear: new signings will only arrive if players depart in the coming weeks. Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons are currently the priority transfer targets, with both seen as key additions for Mauricio Pochettino’s rebuild.
Garnacho, despite growing interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, remains committed to joining Chelsea. Meanwhile, the Blues are also preparing for potential outgoings, with striker Nicolas Jackson attracting interest.
Chelsea expect significant bids once Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastle is resolved, with Jackson valued at around £70 million.
The West London club’s transfer window could yet see plenty of movement as they balance incoming talent with big-money offers for key players.
