L'Equipe: Chelsea striker Washington's transfer to Strasbourg cancelled for unknown reasons

According to L'Equipe, the transfer of Chelsea striker Washington to Strasbourg has been cancelled for unknown reasons.

The report says that in order to raise around €20 million, Chelsea's management has turned to their partner clubs to facilitate the departure of David Washington. The transfer fee was expected to exceed €21 million and it went so smoothly that they began to consider the length of the contract and planned to have him undergo a medical examination in London on Friday afternoon to save time.

However, the 19-year-old Brazilian striker did not undergo the medical examination in the end. Things have changed: late on Friday afternoon, the transfer was cancelled for reasons that are still unclear.

Is it because, as The Athletic said, the Premier League may review this transaction, just as they have the right to review transactions between clubs under the same owner? Diego Moreira's transfer from Chelsea to Strasbourg for €9 million this summer may have been reviewed.
