On Twitter, journalist Florian Plettenburg asserted that Chelsea's initial offer of £60 million for Rafael Leao was turned down.
Despite frequently being utilized as a replacement, the Portugal star made an impression on a number of individuals during the World Cup.
Off the bench, he scored twice, including a spectacular goal in the resounding victory over Switzerland.
Chelsea were linked with a move to sign the 23-year-old over the summer, with them seemingly not fully satisfied with their attack going into this season.
When the deal didn’t come to fruition, the Blues turned to a short-term option in the form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in an attempt to bolster numbers.
