LONDON - Ross Barkley became the latest player to reject a move to Premier League champion Chelsea on Thursday, pulling out of a deal as the summer transfer window closed.
Everton's billionaire owner Farhad Moshiri revealed that a transfer fee of $45 million had been agreed and Barkley had passed a medical examination when the midfielder changed his mind about moving.
"It's a big surprise, but that's football," Moshiri told broadcaster Sky Sports. "We will continue to look for ways to improve the club."
