# Chelsea decided not to push for Nabil Fekir signing

Chelsea reportedly turned down the chance to sign Nabil Fekir this summer, with the Blues believing they had enough players in his position.

[Goal reports](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-opted-against-fekir-move-as-pulisic-interest-remains/hm5ikuyer0rr1i719mx9mv4ve) that 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.

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.
