Atletico Madrid remain keen on Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher after agreeing a £33.7m fee.
Gallagher's current contract a Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of the coming campaign and a number of clubs have shown an interest in signing the 24-year-old this summer.
The midfielder rejected the deal, and once again turned down the same terms last week after Diego Simeone's side had a bid accepted.
Despite talks between Chelsea and Gallagher's representatives recently taking place, there is no change in his situation with a move to Spain looking unlikely.

With Reece James spending much of the 2023-24 campaign on the treatment table, Gallagher regularly served as Blues captain under then-boss Mauricio Pochettino as they recovered from a stuttering start to finish sixth.
It is understood there are concerns that the academy graduate may not suit Enzo Maresca's system as speculation linking him with a permanent exit from his boyhood club continues to grow.
Should Gallagher depart this summer Chelsea have reportedly earmarked Celtic's Matt O'Riley as a potential replacement in midfield.
O'Riley netted 18 goals in 37 appearances for Brendan Rodgers' Celtic as the triumphed in the Scottish Premiership last season.
Born in London, O'Riley represented England at multiple youth levels before switching international allegiances to Denmark and making his senior debut last year.
