Barcelona have rejected Chelsea’s offer to swap Fermin Lopez for Christopher Nkunku.
Although Fermin is not a regular for the team, he was a key player in Hansi Flick’s domestic treble-winning side. It was previously suggested that he might leave the team after the Olympics, but Flick eventually convinced him to stay.
Despite his good form, he is still not a permanent starter next season, so Chelsea saw an opportunity to make an offer. According to สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน, the Blues offered a swap deal, asking for Fermin and sending Nkunku to Barca. However
, Barca rejected it without thinking long, insisting that they would only sell Fermin if he wanted to move. At the moment, he still does not seem to want to move because he is still fighting for a position in the team, especially with Dani Olmo in the same position.
Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez are quality in the Chelsea engine room, but they play at their own pace. Lopez injects electricity into matches.
Additionally, he can cover several positions, and the Blues need that versatility when they eventually sell Nkunku.
As for Nkunku, Barca were actually interested in him last summer. But after seeing his recent form at Chelsea, he no longer wanted to be involved. As for Fermin, he probably doesn’t plan to go anywhere, unless his role is reduced and he no longer has the opportunity to play.
