Reason Why Chelsea pulled plug on Tyler Adams’ £20m move from Leeds after he’d completed medical.
Tyler Adams‘ £20 million (€23 million/$25 million) transfer to Chelsea has been cancelled, despite the midfielder having passed a club medical.
The USMNT international’s contract had been advanced by the Blues, but they withdrew on Friday, forcing the 24-year-old to return to Leeds.
The specific cause of Chelsea’s change of heart is unclear, and the club denies that it has anything to do with Moises Caicedo’s rising price.
The arrival of Caicedo, which could set a record, maybe the main factor, according to The Telegraph.
Adams, who captained the USMNT in last year’s World Cup in Qatar, is now left in limbo and will be hoping to land at another Premier League club before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Adams will be attempting to recuperate from the injury that prevented him from playing for the USMNT this summer and the end of the last Premier League season as the transfer merry-go-round continues to spin.
