From the source
Chelsea and Manchester United have lost three games apiece already in the Premier League, and though they are on varying ends of the standings, the English giants need better quality and reinforcements to challenge for the title.
El Nacional has reported that the Blues and the Red Devils are interested in bringing in a new number 10, and are set to battle it out for Barcelona star Fermin Lopez next year in an attempt to lure him to England.
According to the Catalan source, Chelsea and Man United are willing to pay close to £100 million for the Spaniard’s services. With Dani Olmo’s form in midfield lately, it would be difficult for the La Liga side to turn down such an offer for Lopez as they look to balance their finances.
