Several press reports have revealed that English club Chelsea is keen to sign another Barcelona star after the failure of a deal for the distinguished Spaniard Fermin Lopez, who has decided to remain at Barcelona and reject all offers made to him.

Chelsea appear poised to reignite their pursuit of Barcelona's promising midfielder, Álex Casado, as the winter transfer window looms. The Blues are reportedly prepared to table an offer of approximately €35 million for the 22-year-old, setting the stage for a potential tug-of-war with fellow London rivals Arsenal, who are also monitoring the situation.

While Chelsea's initial interest over the summer was sidelined in favor of a move for Fermín López, the club's attention has now circled back to Casado. The Spaniard's recent absence from Hansi Flick's first-team plans has undoubtedly added momentum to the speculation surrounding his future.

Despite Barcelona's desire to retain their La Masia graduate, Chelsea is positioning itself to capitalize on this opening, signaling a determined effort to bring the young talent to Stamford Bridge.
