Chelsea failed with a late approach to sign Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo, according to journalist David Ornstein.
The Ghanaian is expected to leave the Cherries next month, and he has already agreed on personal terms with Manchester City.
Man City are expected to trigger his £65 million release clause whereby they will need to pay around £20 million this winter.
A move could be made official at the turn of the year, but it appears the Blues made a late effort in order to convince the winger.
Ornstein reveals that Chelsea did make contact with the player’s representatives, but they could not persuade Semenyo.
Semenyo has his sights on winning big trophies in the prime of his career and believes Man City are the perfect club for him.
The versatile attacker is expected to start for the Cherries during the upcoming league clash against Brentford on the road.
It could be his final appearance before his switch to Man City.
