Chelsea pursuit of Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez has collapsed just days before the end of the transfer window, according to reports.
The Spanish midfielder is thought to be reluctant to moving to Stamford Bridge because Thomas Tuchel can't guarantee game time.
According to 90min, Chelsea were on the verge of agreeing a deal with Atletico before the 26-year-old rejected the Blues.
Saul is said to have wanted guarantees over his playing time with Tuchel already having several top midfielders at his disposal.
N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Trevoh Chalobah and Ethan Ampadu are among those battling it out for CM role.
