Barcelona have reportedly rejected a massive €80 million (£68m/$92m) offer from Saudi side Al-Hilal as well as a potential swap deal with Chelsea who offered Christopher Nkunku.
Hansi Flick is understood to be a big fan of Lopez who he believes offers his side’s midfield a different kind of profile to the likes of Gavi and Pedri.
With the club pursuing a deal for Nico Williams, they may be forced to sell in order to appease FFP issues should they fail to offload other players, however.
