Chelsea Bid for Nantes Teen Tylel Tati Reportedly Rebuffed on Deadline Day

Nantes have reportedly turned down an unwritten €30m approach, leaving little time to pursue a loan-back plan.

Overview

  • L’Équipe reports Chelsea made a verbal €30m offer for 18-year-old centre-back Tylel Tati that Nantes rejected.
  • The proposed structure would be to sign Tati and immediately loan him to Strasbourg for the rest of the season, a scenario described as unlikely given the deadline.
  • Nantes view Tati as a current starter and are reluctant to approve a late sale without securing a replacement.
  • Chelsea’s push follows reports that previous target Jérémy Jacquet is heading to Liverpool for a medical.
  • An internal reshuffle is also reported, with Mamadou Sarr set for recall from Strasbourg and Aaron Anselmino expected to join Strasbourg on loan.
