Chelsea have aborted their mission of signing Wesley Fofana from Leicester City. This comes after Leicester rejected Chelsea’s offer of £70million plus £10million add-ons. Leicester now price Fofana at £85million.
Tuchel, Chelsea boss, considered his options and found Fofana too expensive. The defender did not feature almost half of matches last season due to leg injury.
Brendan Rodger, Leicester boss, benched Fofana in their game against Southampton in a move to show Chelsea they are set to let him leave the club.
On the other hand, Leicester City are known for their tough negotiations after bagging £85million for Harry Maguire to Manchester United in 2019.
Leicester also led Newcastle United’s retreat from signing James Maddison because of their high prices. They placed a price tag of £65million for the star.
