But, according to reports, this did not stop them from signing a contract offering the form of Fulhamby Tosin Adarabioyo.
Sky Sports claims the west Londoners have “confirmed” they have offered the defender a contract at Stamford Bridge.
Former Manchester City academy star Adarabioyo is set to become a free agent once his contract at Craven Cottage expires at the end of the month.
Chelsea’s potential signing of the 26-year-old – who could be the first arrival of the Enzo Maresca era – is far from guaranteed, as a number of other clubs are interested in acquiring his services.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe is interested in signing the defender to replace crocodile Sven Botman.
Manchester United would also be interested in signing the future free agent.
Fulham have been resigned to losing Adarabioyo since he rejected the offer of a bumper new deal.
