Chelsea and Leicester have finally reached an agreement on the signing of Wesley Fofana after making numerous offers. As they try to replace the void left by the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, the Blues are in dire need of a defender.

The 21-year-old, who grew up supporting the Blues, now has the price Chelsea and Leicester have agreed. The deal was met by Chelsea's offer of £70m with an additional £10m.

That's almost double from the market value of Wesley Fofana, the last time I see the 21-year-old's market value was around €40 million. But if the information on the €70 million deal is correct, then Wesley Fofana certainly become the player with the third highest transfer fee in the EPL this season after Darwin Nunez and Casemiro.

I'm curious how tough this young defender is? Leicester didn't even use it very actively last season.

After adapting these young players to the squad, playing in the top 11 gives them great self-confidence.  We'll see if he plays in this game.  I think he has to play, one of the most important things for a defender is match experience.  His team needs to bring it to him.
If the team needs to bring him into today's match, then in general Chelsea will benefit greatly if Wesley Fofana can immediately adapt to the players in his new team because if Chelsea's defense can be better with the presence of Wesley Fofana. Chelsea could have improved in form and returned to the title challengers group this season.
The price paid on Fofona is too high,I dont know why Leicester players are always that high,the amount of money they played on him is too much and I don't think he will be able to deliver with the expectation that has been placed on him.
This signing will really add depth to the Chelsea's squad because Fofona is a really reasonable addition to them.I don't think he will be able to play today's game.

According to DI Marzio CR7 has been offered to Napoli in the hope he will play the following CL.

Not sure if they can afford his salary even with a big reduction.

Manchester also asked for Osimen with a bid around 100m €

Given that United will be paying 85% of his salary (according to the same sources), this is a very feasible deal for Napoli. I don’t know how the next Ronaldo transfer scheme will end, but in my opinion a transfer to Napoli is better than sitting on the bench at United and watching Ten Hag implement his crazy schemes.

Will the 21-year-old player also be used in today's match or will he serve as a substitute first? But it would be better if the player was immediately used in the match if Chelsea really needed a reliable defender.
I don't really know why fofana is very expensive,for me he is not outstanding to much for his market value to be so high like that, you can get better quality less than that price but I think is him or no one in Thomas Tuchel's eyes, I don't think Brendan Rodgers will include him in his game plan because the deal has already been agreed, even last week Brendan Rodgers didn't include him in their game because he feared that he might not be at the right state of mind to involve talk less of now the deal is done. I don't think he can fixture for Chelsea too because the deal has not materialize and not official yet.
Wesley Fofana will sign to Chelsea until 2028 and he's 21 years old now. It meant Fofana will be the backbone of Chelsea for a very long time. Chelsea considered Fofana as a long-time investment in both his skill right now and in the future too. I think you guys shouldn't look at a transfer as just how good a player's skill is at the moment but also his growth stat. Chelsea's investment in Fofana might be paid off later.

It has been reported that Manchester City have received an offer like 70 million euros from PSG for Bernardo Silva. However they have rejected this offer as well. I wonder whether their mind would change in case they get a 100+ million euro offer from a team. But I don't think so because there is a little time period left for the transfer window to end. They would struggle about finding another solid player to replace him.
I don't think Man City is a club that lacks finances. it's clear why they turned down a huge offer from PSG. besides, it would be difficult to find a replacement in such a short time. it would be a loss for Man City.
but there are rumors that Bernardo Silva wants to play at Barcelona. although Pep himself has said he doesn't want to lose Bernardo Silva. so we still don't know what the fate of the rumor will be. Will Barcelona be willing to pay a higher dowry than PSG's offer?

Barcelona had better not pay this amount of money to sign him. Because they are already in a financially bad condition and they are trying to register all of their recent transfers on one hand. In these circumstances signing Bernardo Silva would make things even more difficult for them while there is not much time left for the transfer window to be closed.





By the way Chelsea have completed the Wesley Fofana deal finally. It is finished for 75 million pounds which is a really huge sum but I hope it would help Chelsea have a better defense line.

And another one for Juventus? Leandro Paredes from Paris Saint Germain. The team from Paris would be weakened because they also play vs Juventus in the Champions League. Paredes has already played in Italy (AS Roma, Empoli, Chievo Verona) and with 28 year he gained a lot of experience in France. He also won the 2021 Copa America with Argentina.

Actually the debate about Ronaldo's move will only waste time because he will not leave Manchester United this season because it is difficult for him to leave, regardless of what this will only end at MU until his contract is finished.
We must know that the rumors about Ronaldo are just a spice to get hotter so that many clubs that don't even qualify are being linked with this one Goat.
I am not sure that Ronaldo pulled a deal like that, he probably wanted to leave but couldn't find anyone.
I mean think about it this way, if he gets injured then it would be bad for the team that could end up with him, and they are asking for so much money for both Ronaldo himself AND then the team as well. So, nobody wants to buy a player at that age which has an injury chance and also costs so much.

This is why I believe that Ronaldo is not doing it on purpose or something like that, they are definitely wanting him out but just for the right amount and nobody believes that they are not finding a team to send to, not a fake but definitely overvalued.

Milik has officially joined Juventus on loan from O. Marseille yesterday. He has been brought to be a backup to Dusan Vlahovic in attack. Considering how defensive-minded Allegri is, I doubt he will play with both of them from the start.

I don't mind Milik as a backup, but I fail to see what strategy Juventus was following when they got him. Their first target was Depay from Barcelona. Depay is a completely different type of player from Milik. He can play on the wings or as a second striker, while Milik is a standard center-forward, strong in the air and physical. How do you target one of them and then get the other one is beyond my imagination. It's as if you wanted to buy a new car and you get a bus instead. Sure, they are both motor vehicles, but they are used for completely different tasks.

Manchester United new bid has been rejected by Ajax earlier today. €90m is considered not enough, that’s why Antony is disappointed with Ajax - he only wants United. Manchester United Bid has been submitted and is already turned down.

Man United have even tried to pay way more than the player should be worth imo, so it's understand that Anthony have voiced his frustration, it's always overly absurd when teams get to hold on to player against their wish, but would also get to sell the players when they choose to, but if it's the player choosing to leave by make their intentions known they get called traitors and all other sorts of uncalled for names, but for these clubs it's pure business as usual and everyone is expendable, once the price is right by them.



Do you know all of this have been commicated Across already.
Antony did this during vacations to Ajax
But yet they choose to frustrate the player isn't it pure wickedness

Wesley Fofana has an expensive price because from the start Leicester did not plan to sell Fofana in this year's transfer market. But because
Chelsea continued to offer up to 3 times, and it was reported that Fofana had also reached a personal agreement with Chelsea. That made Fofana
not come to training since last week and Fofana insists on moving to Chelsea. This makes Leicester accept the latest offer from Chelsea 80 million
pounds, and it is reported that Fofana will be contracted by Chelsea until 2028. But this made Brendan Rodgers disappointed, because Wesley Fofana
was not as professional as Harry Maguire when he moved to Man United. No wonder Fofana was left out when Leicester faced Southampton,
and now Rodgers is pitching Fofana to Leicester's Under-21 team. What is certain is that in the near future after completing some documents,
Chelsea will officially get Fofana from Leicester. Fofana's transfer value will make him the most expensive defender in the world after Harry Maguire
and Virgil Van Dijk.

Manchester United new bid has been rejected by Ajax earlier today. €90m is considered not enough, that’s why Antony is disappointed with Ajax

Considered not enough huh. I kinda get the feeling that most clubs are going to milk every million that they can get from Manchester United. Antony worth not more than €60m. Yeah he is a decent player that might fit under Ten Hag but its just silly at this point if every club out there just hike up the price of their player just because Manchester United is in desperate need of players
I'm against it too.  They offer a testimonial price according to the team.  If a supporter of a team is a wealthy businessman, he is told a different testimonial than other teams.  Everyone is trying to earn more, but no one asks the player what he wants.  Maybe the football player wants to play in that team, but this attitude of his team may be preventing him from realizing.

Antony did have a good performance in the Dutch Premier Division but that does not mean he will also be good if he plays in the Premier League, so I think the 90 Million Euro offer is a gamble because for reasonable conditions Antony's value should be no more than 50 Million Euros. It was the urgency of the situation that made Man United make an unreasonable offer, and because it was rejected by Ajax several times, it actually made Man United even more desperate to sign Antony.

Does it mean Chelsea needs to pay £80m for Fofana's transfer fees?
I assume it is quite expensive for a center-defender from an average club like Leicester City. But having a strong and young defender like him will bring many advantages for Chelsea. Fofana will strengthen the current defensive line of Chelsea, and Chelsea also can invest their money in Fofana since he is still very young.

I believe that at the end of the day, it all worked out perfectly for both sides, Chelsea had to part ways with a decent amount and Leicester City might just have sold Fofana for the best value they could find and probably due to the hostility. While I think Fofana (although he's quite an incredible player) the only problem Chelsea current team seemed to have right now is finding a replacement Kante, He's absence he's absence has made Chelsea more vulnerable
You are very right here, Chelsea needs to be in discussion for Kante replacement than any other positions right now, Because for the past two seasons now that position has cause Chelsea football club a lot of issues and point loss, jorginho, kovacic,Loftus cheek all this players can play that role but don't have that characteristics like Kante or cover the defence like the France international so they need a player of similar qualities and fofana is too expensive for that price Leicester city is demanding.

Lol how greedy ajax is but if it was about selling its one of best player and that's team's decision. That's a lot of money even more than meguire's transfer. I just wanna know how much money that will be spent by united in this season. So far this club has been getting a lot of new players but it seems like that casemiro seems to be best transfer in this season. I don't even think MU will give another offer more than 100 millions. That will be breaking another new record.
