Chelsea star makes a U-turn on transfer exit?
A Chelsea star has reportedly rejected a lucrative offer to leave the club.
A massive exodus has taken place at Stamford Bridge with 10 players having officially left the club, while several more could still depart ahead of next season.
These players have gone in various directions, as some have joined rivals in the Premier League, while others have moved Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.

Almost a handful of their remaining squad members have been linked with a departure, with reported plans in place to get rid of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Romelu Lukaku, Christian Pulisic, and Hakim Ziyech on a permanent move, while Ivorian forward David Datro Fofana will only be sent out on loan, per Football.London.
However, one of these aforementioned stars now looks to have had a change of heart about leaving just yet after he rejected profitable proposal to join a new club.
According to CBS Sports, Ziyech has declined Al Nassr's contract offer after it was recently altered due to concerns about the Moroccan's knee and hip issues after they were detected during his medical tests.
This seems to have scuppered the deal, as the Riyadh outfit presented a revised bid that included a 40% cut from his initial €15 million (R303 million) per season salary, although included bonuses would still have taken the winger's earnings back to up to the original figure.
The report also claims that the move to Saudi Arabia is not ruled out completely though, as rivals Al Ahli have expressed interest in Ziyech if they fail to sign their main target Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City.
