Chelsea will go all-out to sign Fermín López.

Chelsea hasn't stopped trying to sign Fermín López and is ready to make a big move during the winter transfer window.

Even though FC Barcelona refused offers for their young midfielder during the summer, the London club is still determined to convince both the player and the Catalan team.

Fermín López is a priority for Chelsea.

The English club has shown interest in him before. Last transfer window, they offered a fee near €70 million, but Barcelona said no. The 21-year-old, who came through Barcelona's youth system, played over 40 matches last season, scoring six goals and making five assists across all competitions.

Current Barcelona manager Hansi Flick sees potential in Fermín as a future leader of the midfield.

"He's a player with attacking ability and commitment. We have to give him confidence," Flick said in a press conference.

The main thing for Barcelona will be keeping Fermín motivated.

With players like Pedri, Gavi, De Jong, Dani Olmo, and Marc Casadó in the squad, the midfield competition is tough. If he feels he's not getting enough playing time, he might seriously consider a move to Chelsea, which offers immediate success in the Premier League.

The Barcelona board knows they can't afford to lose one of their Masia talents, but they also understand that an English offer could help ease their financial issues.

In London, they believe Fermín fits their plans.

At 21, he's a versatile midfielder who can play in different positions and has experience in European competitions. His contract with Barcelona ends in 2029, but Chelsea's persistence suggests they want to bring him in this January.

Chelsea has spent a lot in the last three transfer windows and still sees value in young talent.

In this context, Fermín represents a long-term investment to help the team build stability.

Fermín López still wants to do well at Barcelona. People who know him say he isn’t thinking about moving away, but not getting enough game time might change things. He reportedly said to those around him, "My dream has always been to play for Barça, but I want to feel like I’m really important."

Right now, Fermín’s situation is likely to be a big topic in the winter transfer window.

Chelsea is ready to try again, and Barcelona will have to decide whether to invest in his development or accept an offer they can’t say no to.
