Premier League clubs target Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez
Four Premier League clubs have expressed interest in signing Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez, with reported transfer bids reaching 100 million euros. According to reports from the Spanish outlet SPORT, the midfielder's recent high-profile performances, particularly against Atletico Madrid, have triggered increased attention from English sides. Chelsea and Manchester United are identified as the most active participants in the pursuit, while two other undisclosed Premier League teams have also submitted formal offers.
This follows a previous attempt by Chelsea during the summer of 2026, when an offer of 70 million euros was rejected by Barcelona sporting director Deco. Despite the lucrative nature of the current proposals, sources indicate that Lopez is not interested in leaving Barcelona and prefers to continue his career with the Spanish club. Barcelona management is currently planning to initiate discussions with the player's representatives to adjust his financial terms, building upon the contract extension he signed in January 2026.
