Poker drags on

For weeks, the transfer poker between Chelsea FC and Leicester City has been about Wesley Fofana. Even before the direct clash between the two clubs next Saturday (from 4 p.m. in the TM live ticker), there is no sign of an agreement. According to consistent reports from England, the “Foxes” have also rejected the third offer from London.

For example, reports “Sky Sports“, the Blues would have increased their offer for the defender again to 70 million pounds (equivalent to around 83 million euros), but even with that they immediately bit on granite. Leicester reportedly asked for a minimum fee of £80m (around €95m) weeks ago, which would make Fofana the most expensive defender in the world. This ranking is currently at the top of Manchester United’s Harry Maguire (to the statistics).

The 21-year-old Fofana, whose contract in the East Midlands runs until 2027, is said to be willing to change. The Frenchman was not in the squad when his team drew 2-1 against FC Southampton last Saturday, but followed the game from the stands. “There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, which I understand. It’s a difficult moment for him. He’s a good boy, he was great for us while he was here and it’s not easy for him at the moment,” said coach Brendan Rodgers after the game. When asked, he left open whether a sale would come about with a corresponding offer: “I don’t know at this point in time. There have been some offers for some players but nowhere near the level the club wants to sell.”
