Brendan Rodgers has categorically said that Wesley Fofana is not for sale but a) Chelsea are not taking no for an answer and b) nobody is ever entirely not for sale, are they? Everybody has a price.
And according to the Daily Mail, the price for Fofana stands at £85m. After all, they know that the young Frenchman is better than Harry Maguire and that’s what they squeezed out of Manchester United for his services. So it makes perfect sense. ‘If a deal cannot be struck for Fofana, Thomas Tuchel is also said to be interested in signing Inter Milan defenders Denzel Dumfries and Milan Skriniar,’ say the Mail, while Fabrizio Romano say that Chelsea are still pushing on both Fofana and Josko Gvardiol, though there is talk that he could cost a cool £80m. Yikes.
Leicester are letting nobody go on the cheap. They have also reportedly ‘slapped a £60m price tag’ on their midfielder James Maddison amid interest from Newcastle United.
