Todd Boehly received a swift rejection from Fiorentina when he made a late deadline day move to sign Sofyan Amrabat.
The Chelsea owner has taken a hands-on approach when it comes to recruitment since arriving at Stamford Bridge. He has visibly displayed the Blues' wealth, smashing the British transfer-record this week by signing the World Cup's best young player in Enzo Fernandez.
But while a deal was being struck with Benfica, Boehly also had his sights on another of the World Cup's biggest stars - Amrabat, the impressive Moroccan. Fiorentina quickly turned down a loan approach and then quoted a massive fee, according to the Daily Mail.
