Nkunku has left for AC Milan, and Chelsea still haven’t made a bid, and it now appears Simons is closing in on a move to rivals Tottenham. However, Chelsea are interested in Barcelona midfielder Lopez, although no offer has gone in, and Romano has provided an update on the situation.

The 22-year-old winger is another player of interest to Chelsea but it remains to be seen whether the club switches focus to the Barcelona attacker.

Chelsea will host Barcelona at Stamford Bridge and travel to Bayern Munich in this season's UEFA Champions League.

Barca won a domestic treble of trophies (La Liga, Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana) in Flick’s first campaign in charge and have added to their ranks with signings such as goalkeeper Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, giving them fresh quality and depth in areas that needed to be improved.

Chelsea have finally agreed a deal with Manchester United to sign Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentina international set to undergo a medical at Stamford Bridge on Friday. Garnacho’s move to west London will take Chelsea’s summer spending towards £300m but the club are not ready to conclude their transfer business just yet.

Chelsea have sounded out a move for Barcelona midfielder Fermín López but will need to raise money first, sources have told ESPN.

Barcelona have apparently set their asking price for a new Chelsea target who is reportedly seriously thinking of joining The Blues.

According to reports, FC Barcelona have set two conditions after Chelsea made a 'formal offer' for talented midfielder Fermin Lopez.
