Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Chelsea have reportedly turned down the chance to sign Reds target Nabil Fekir this summer.
According to a report from Goal, the Blues’ decision to opt against signing the Frenchman was reflected by their ability to keep hold of a number of key players throughout the summer.
Fekir was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge throughout the latter stages of the transfer window.
Talks between the two clubs reportedly took place as the Blues weighed up their options in the transfer market.
The World Cup winner looked set for a move to Anfield earlier in the summer, only for a move to fall through at the final moment.
It is yet to be seen if the Reds will go back in for the player after concerns over his medical history.
Rumours linking the Liverpool target with a move to London emerged at a similar time to when Willian was said to be close to a move away.
Both Barcelona and Manchester United were keen to sign the Brazilian, but the 30-year-old remained at the club.
