Liam Delap's future at Chelsea remains uncertain, with the club open to selling or loaning out the striker.
Head coach Xabi Alonso appears to favour other attacking options like Joao Pedro, leaving Delap on the bench during pre-season, including missing the final friendly against Real Sociedad.
Italian side Como expressed an interest in bringing the English forward on loan. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, the club has since pulled out of negotiations.
Chelsea reportedly demanded a hefty €10 million for the loan, which proved too steep for the Serie A outfit, who are now looking at alternative targets, such as Moise Kean.
Delap now finds himself linked with a potential move to another Premier League club, with interest mounting from Everton, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham.
Last season, Delap made 41 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing five assists.
