Crystal Palace defender Jairo Riedewald saw a move to SC Paderborn fall through on deadline day.
The Dutchman was in Germany over the weekend to close a deal.
But despite passing his medical, Kicker says the move collapsed over terms.
All three parties desperately tried to find a compromise, but ran out of time.
SCP CEO Martin Przondziono said yesterday: "Jairo is and remains an interesting player.
"Nevertheless, we are well staffed and trust our squad to play a good role in the Bundesliga."
