Team: Chelsea is evaluating Fermin and regards him as the choice of the same position as Simmons

Hupu, August 26, Chelsea team reporter Bobby Vincent confirmed that Chelsea is indeed considering and weighing whether to offer Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez.

By the time of writing this article, there has been news that the Blues are indeed exploring the possibility of introducing the Barcelona player, but no negotiations have begun between the two clubs. Chelsea has currently had preliminary contact with Lopez's team.

Chelsea has been negotiating with RB Leipzig for more than a month on the introduction of Simmons, but the negotiations are intricate. The West London club hopes to sell Christopher Nkunku first and then advance the negotiations.

Lopez is in a similar position to Simmons, the latest player the Blues are following when exploring other options.

Chelsea hopes to bring in at least two more players before the transfer window is closed, and transfer negotiations about Alejandro Garnacho are also ongoing.

Last week, Chelsea and Manchester United made smooth transfer negotiations over the 21-year-old winger, and he was determined to join Stamford Bridge. Bayern Munich recently contacted Garnacho's team, but the Argentinian said he was more inclined to join Chelsea.
