Am not ready to join Chelsea this month 21-year-old decides – Everton midfielder declined their offer
Amadou Onana, a midfielder for Everton, reportedly turned down a Chelsea offer this month.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Belgian international has made up his mind to continue with Everton for the remainder of the campaign, claims Foot Mercato.
The midfielder is just one of many players Chelsea has targeted in this position as it looks to wrap up an extraordinary January transfer window.
In an effort to profit from the debacle occurring at Goodison Park, they have focused on the Premier League asset late in the window.
Frank Lampard was recently let go by Everton after being let down by fellow target Anthony Gordon’s performances after having his head turned last summer.
Onana turns down Chelsea’s offer.
Given this, the Blues tried to cash in by signing the 21-year-old, who has been one of the team’s few bright spots during their terrible season.
Onana, according to Foot Mercato, rejected the move after an expedited attempt to sign him.
It appears that he won’t be moving to West London, whether it is because of his expectations for his level of playing time or because he is holding out for a better offer elsewhere at the end of the season.
They have actually been unsuccessful in their search for a central midfielder this entire month.
They appear to have eliminated the possibility of that transfer by infuriating Benfica to the point where they will only waive the release clause in exchange for selling Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea.
Another player they were looking to get was Moises Caicedo, but once more they encountered Brighton, a team that was unwilling to bargain.
