Leicester finally agrees to sell Chelsea target Wesley Fofana

Leicester City are now prepared to sell Chelsea target Wesley Fofana after softening their stance following meetings between Fofana and Brendan Rodgers.

Chelsea’s third offer is not expected to be £85m. There’s a real feeling a bid shy of £80m with a preferable structure could be accepted.

Leicester sources have always said it will take a world-record fee for a defender but still told CFC to try for under £80m first.

Chelsea also wants a verbal agreement from direct talks rather than making ‘blind’ formal offers. This speeds up negotiation.

Fofana sees Chelsea as a dream move and Leicester feels if they keep him he may remain distracted beyond the window.

A move is not yet a given since Leicester are tough negotiator and are also assessing replacements.

But CFC is optimistic they can make progress before the weekend.
