Chelsea's attempt to loan David Datro Fofana to AEK Athens fell through when AEK withdrew from their verbal agreement, complicating the transfer at the deadline.
AEK Athens, who had been active in the transfer window, unexpectedly reneged on their agreement with Chelsea for Fofana, which included a 20m option to buy.
Despite Chelsea's confidence in the loan deal for Fofana, the complications that arose late in the evening led to its collapse before the deadline.
Chelsea is still actively seeking to loan out Fofana for the upcoming season, with options available as the Turkish transfer window remains open.
