Barcelona consider move for defender if Fermin Lopez sale goes through

Barcelona are reportedly considering going back into the transfer market if they secure a major sale for Fermin Lopez. The Masia product has been heavily linked with Chelsea, and is supposedly considering an exit from the club.

The Catalan side are keen to secure a major sale this summer to alleviate their registration issues, with Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin and Roony Bardghji still unable to play currently. It is said that if they were to secure the €70m they would demand for Lopez from Chelsea, then it would go a long way to resolving their registration issues.

Barcelona considering move for Monaco defender

Were a major sale to go through, it could even provide Barcelona with sufficient room in their salary limit to do more business. ESPN report that the Catalan giants are considering a move for AS Monaco and Brazil right-back Vanderson in that scenario. The Brazilian has been heavily linked with Barcelona in the past, and Director of Football Deco maintains a good relationship with his agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, who he was seen meeting last week.
