It’s no longer news that Chelsea’s proposed move for Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion has collapsed. It was previously reported that Chelsea had agreed a £34.5million (€40m) deal with their Atletico Madrid for Omorodion. But at the ending part of the deal, it collapsed as reported by Fabrizio Romano. He was expected to a years deal with Chelsea with the option of a further year.
Why the deal collapsed? The transfer is off due to a major issue with finalizing the 20-year-old’s contract. Chelsea has since inquired with Atletico about signing Joao Felix. In June, Chelsea’s €32.5m (£27.4m) offer for Omorodion was rejected. Omorodion spent last season on loan at Deportivo Alaves, scoring nine goals and providing one assist.
