Manchester United reportedly rejected Romeo Lavia over the summer as part of the deal to sell Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea.
The Red Devils offloaded Garnacho for £40million in August after the winger fell out of favour under Ruben Amorim.
But apparently Chelsea were willing to hand over Lavia and receive less cash, according to ESPN.
United are said to have snubbed the 21-year-old midfielder because of worries about his fitness record.
Lavia’s time at Stamford Bridge has been blighted by injuries.
He has yet to complete a full 90 minutes in two-and-a-half years and missed a total of 88 games due to injury and fitness problems.
