Barcelona reject chance to swap Fermin Lopez with Chelsea outcast Christopher Nkunku

Barcelona have reportedly turned down an offer from Chelsea to swap Fermin Lopez for striker Christopher Nkunku.

There have been a few whispers of Chelsea interest in Lopez over the last few days, but the latest report claims the Blues were thinking about a swap deal.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the idea didn’t go down too well in Catalunya. Barca “flatly rejected” the proposal with Joan Laporta and Hansi Flick both uninterested.

Lopez became a really useful player for Barcelona last season. He was not a regular starter but still ended up with eight goals and eight assists for Flick’s side.
