The week and the transfer window (finally) are coming to an end and Fermin Lopez is keeping silent about Chelsea’s strong interest in his services. This morning, FC Barcelona trained normally in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, with the 22-year-old included in the culers’ next match against Rayo Vallecano, as always, according to Mundo Deportivo.
News about his possible departure have arrived all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Sergio Busquets, eternal reference of one of the best blaugrana squads, trusts that the Huelvan will stay in Catalunya, although he emphasizes that he does not have any official information, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Despite the absence of news coming from official voices in the Condal City, there might be a transfer movement that could have implications for the London team’s interest. The Blues had Xavi Simons as another strong option to reinforce their squad, but today, he officially signed for Tottenham in what is one of the biggest moves of the last days of the transfer market. The former Barcelona youth product, Simons’ signature with the Spurs might lead Stamford Bridge directors to increase their offer for Fermin.
However, at the cited media indicates that Laporta would only accept an offer of at least 90 million euros, which seems very far from what has been unofficially offered by Enzo Maresca’s team.
Word on the street is that one of Newcastle’s Champions League dance partners has their eye on Fermín López. The Premier League team are apparently ready to throw around some of that Saudi cash and the Isak money and meet that valuation. Still nothing from the almighty transfer gods, but keep your notifications on the window loves serving up chaos, especially when the deadline clock starts ticking louder.
For now, Fermin seems to be a possible lineup option for Sunday’s match in Vallecas, although nothing will be entirely closed until the market is shut. In the meantime, Chelsea has everything agreed for the signing of Facundo Buonanotte, an Argentinian who happens to play in the same position as Lopez, as Sport informs.
Days will pass and news will come about the end of Fermin’s saga.
