The Belgian international has made up his mind to continue at Everton for the remainder of the campaign, claims Foot Mercato.
The midfielder is just one of several players Chelsea has targeted in this position as it looks to wrap up an extraordinary January transfer window.
In an effort to profit on the debacle occurring at Goodison Park, they have focused on the Premier League asset late in the window.
Frank Lampard was recently let go by Everton after being let down by fellow target Anthony Gordon's performances after having his head turned last summer.
Given this, the Blues tried to cash in by signing the 21-year-old, who has been one of the team's few bright spots throughout their terrible season.
But according to Foot Mercato, Onana turned down the offer.
Whether it is due to his expectation of the amount of playing time he will receive or because he is waiting for a better offer in the summer.
They have really been unsuccessful in their search for a central midfielder this entire month.
They appear to have eliminated the possibility of that transfer by infuriating Benfica to the point that they will only waive the release clause in exchange for selling Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea.
Another player they were looking to get was Moises Caicedo, but once more they encountered Brighton, a team that was unwilling to bargain.
