"Chelsea" is preparing another offer to "Leicester" for the defender Wesley Fofan, according to Football.london.

The Londoners have already received at least one rejection from the Foxes, which was valued at £70m. Now the "blues" are ready to increase their offer to 85 million pounds or include in the deal their wards, on whom Thomas Tuchel does not count. Among them: Ethan Ampadu, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

If the parties agree on the transfer of Fofana for 85 million pounds, he will become the most expensive defender in the world. Currently, the highest price for a defender was set by the same "Leicester" - in 2018, Manchester United bought Harry Maguire for 80 million pounds.
