The third bid of around €95m for Wesley Fofana is acceptable for both the clubs

According to Telegraph (h/t Metro), Chelsea told to pay a world-record fee to land Wesley Fofana. Chelsea have been told that they will need to pay a world-record fee for a defender to sign Leicester City star Wesley Fofana.

The Leicester have had an underwhelming window where they haven’t signed a player and already lost keeper Kasper Schmeichel. They are adamant that if the Blues want Fofana, the 21-year-old will only be sold if an offer in excess of a world-record fee for a defender is put on the table.

Leicester wanted an offer in excess of £80m for them to even consider offloading Fofana. Chelsea’s first two offers for the 21-year-old were £60m and £70m. Both the proposals were rejected.

And as per Santi Aouna’s tweet (h/t Football.London), the third bid of around €95m is acceptable for both the clubs, subject to a lot of paperwork and other related logistics. If true, it makes the Frenchman the new world record holder for the most expensive defender in football history.
