Chelsea Set to Reignite Fermin Lopez Interest with £70m January Bid

Alex Roberts

Chelsea are reportedly ready to reignite their pursuit of Fermin Lopez, with a £70 million bid expected in the January transfer window.

Enzo Maresca’s side had a £35 million offer for the 22-year-old turned down in the last few days of the summer transfer window.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea will return with another bid for the attacking midfielder in January.

The report adds that the Premier League side are prepared to spend a massive £70 million on Lopez to help lessen the pressure on Cole Palmer.

Barcelona were understood to be open to selling Lopez earlier in the summer but Hansi Flick pushed for the club to keep him.
