Chelsea continue to be linked with Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez, with reports suggesting head coach Xabi Alonso is keen to bring the player to Stamford Bridge.
There has also been speculation that Alonso wants to telephone Fermin Lopez personally to discuss a possible move.
However, according to El Nacional, Barcelona president Joan Laporta does not want to let the 23-year-old leave for Chelsea. The only way the London club could sign him would be by activating his €500m release clause.
Fermin Lopez is under contract with Barcelona until the end of the 2030-31 season.
