Chelsea sanctioned the sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for a £125m on deadline day, but failed in a late attempt to sign a replacement.
A move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara was cancelled by the French side, while Roma’s refusal to sell Manu Kone saw Chelsea fail to land another target.
According to , Chelsea are now looking at Fermin Lopez as their ideal Fernandez successor. According to the Spanish outlet, Xabi Alonso has been given the green light to pursue a move for Lopez that could cost in excess of £100m.
Barcelona do not want to sell the 23-year-old, who has started the new season in fine form. Lopez has four goals and two assists from four La Liga appearances for Hansi Flick’s side. However, a massive offer from the Premier League could reportedly tempt Barcelona and force them to ‘assess the situation’.
