Tyler Adams isn't headed to Chelsea after all.
The USMNT captain's deal to join the Blues this season reportedly fell through on Friday, according to ESPN's Tom Hamilton and James Olley. Talks between the two clubs have broken down, apparently after the two sides disagreed over the structuring of the transfer fee.
The failed deal came just weeks after his teammate and fellow captain, Christian Pulisic, left for AC Milan on a reported $21.9. million transfer. Chelsea reportedly activated the relegation release clause in Adams' contract, according to Italian soccer reporter Fabrizio Romano, for around $25.
