90min reports on Newcastle's interest in hijacking Chelsea's deal for Barcelona midfielder Fermín López. With the money from a prospective sale of Alexander Isak in mind, Newcastle are preparing to hijack Chelsea’s deal for Barcelona midfielder Fermín López with an offer of €100 million (£86.4 million, $116.8 million). Tottenham are also thought to be monitoring the situation.

Tottenham Hotspur retain an interest in Fermin Lopez. The two Premier League clubs asked about him over the summer, but Barcelona pointed to the €400m release clause in his contract.
