Chelsea guarantees starting role for Barcelona star

Barcelona Facing Potential Sale Before Transfer Window Closes

Barcelona is facing the possibility of being forced into making a sale before the summer transfer window closes, as they continue to struggle with registering key players. Gerard Martin, Wojciech Szczesny, and Roony Bardghji are yet to be registered, leading to speculation that players like Marc Casado and Fermin Lopez could be on their way out. At this point, it seems that Fermin Lopez is the most likely candidate to depart.

Chelsea Makes Offer for Fermin Lopez

Recent reports have revealed that Chelsea has submitted an offer of €50m for Fermin Lopez, which could be a significant move for Barcelona. This potential sale would not only solve Barcelona’s registration issues but also pave the way for a new signing, possibly a central defender to replace Inigo Martinez.

Barcelona Coach Hansi Flick’s Decision

Previously, Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick had blocked the sale of Fermin Lopez, but it seems that he may now be unable to prevent it. The 22-year-old player is reportedly considering his future, with sources suggesting that he is contemplating Chelsea’s offer.

Chelsea’s Promise to Fermin Lopez

Chelsea has reportedly assured Fermin Lopez that he would be a regular starter if he joins the club, which could be an enticing proposition for the young Spain international. This offer comes as he competes for the attacking midfield position with Dani Olmo in Flick’s system at Barcelona.

While it is uncertain if Barcelona will accept Chelsea’s offer, they are willing to let Fermin Lopez leave if he expresses his desire to move on. This potential departure would come as a surprise, considering the impact he has had since making his debut in the first team over two years ago.

As of now, Fermin Lopez is content staying at Barcelona, but the situation could evolve in the coming days.
