Important talks already taking place over €40m Chelsea transfer target’s future

Barcelona are reportedly already in talks with the representatives of Chelsea transfer target Fermin Lopez over a new contract.

The Spain international’s current Barca deal doesn’t expire until 2029, but it seems the club are eager to ensure he’s tied down and committed for the long term.

Chelsea notably made a bid for Lopez last summer, as Fabrizio Romano reported at the time on his YouTube channel.

The Blues made an offer of €40m for Lopez, and they’ve continued to be linked with the 22-year-old since then by Fichajes.
