Chelsea ‘are confident’ they will complete signing of £85M man
According to new media reports, Chelsea are very confident they will complete the signing of Wesley Fofana this summer.
The only three players to arrive this summer are Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Gabriel Slonina, and Kalidou Koulibaly, albeit the young American isn’t quite ready for the first cup of tea yet.
With reports that the German intends to find a long-term successor for the ailing center back, Thomas Tuchel is aware that he needs to add a few more defenders to the team over the coming weeks. Théodore Silva
Additionally, there are still numerous media rumors suggesting that the club is keen to acquire Fofana.
As they do not want to lose the player this summer, Leicester has set an asking price of between £80 and £85 million, but that has not stopped Chelsea from making their moves to sign the player.
And now Leicester has apparently accepted the possibility that Wesley Fofana could depart the team this summer, according to a report from FootMercato.
If their asking price is fulfilled, they are prepared to let him go, but it will take a bid greater than £80 million for Leicester to part ways with the Frenchman.
However, it has been reported that Chelsea FC is quite certain they can conclude a deal for the excellent defender for a significantly lower price.
