"Fermin Lopez was a major transfer target for Chelsea during the summer transfer window, with the Blues making great efforts to lure the young midfielder away from FC Barcelona. In the end, however, the La Masia graduate decided to stay put at the club, snubbing the Premier League heavyweights' overtures. Barça, for their part, also had no intention of parting ways with the 22-year-old Spaniard, who has become a key player for Hansi Flick."
"Now, according to Fabrizio Romano on DAZN, while Chelsea admire Fermin Lopez, and have done so for long, an attempt to sign him in the ongoing January window is unlikely. So, there is a possibility of some transfers taking place at Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks. However, Fermin is not on the agenda for the Premier League giants for now, and they are unlikely to make a transfer of that magnitude this month."
Chelsea targeted Fermin Lopez during the summer and made significant efforts to sign the La Masia graduate, but Fermin chose to remain at FC Barcelona. Barcelona is not willing to sell the 22-year-old, who has established himself as a key player under Hansi Flick. Chelsea now face managerial change and potential transfers, but a January approach for Fermin is unlikely. Fermin starred in Barcelona's 5-0 Spanish Super Cup semifinal win and has recorded eight goals and eight assists in 20 matches across all competitions. Chelsea may revisit interest in the summer with a large bid.
