The Marseille club would remain interested in the Marseille defender of Chelsea, Wesley Fofana, currently in recovery. However, the operation would be difficult to conclude.
According to journalist Sébastien Vidal, Medhi Benatia did not abandon the Wesley Fofana track. After a first unsuccessful attempt last summer, The OM sports director would continue to follow the situation of the central defender of Chelseawhose London career is hampered by multiple injuries.
Recently operated on hamstrings, the 24-year-old French international sees his season already over, and rumors concerning his future are intensifying. The English club would not oppose a departure this summer. OM would rather favor a loan with purchase option. Chelsea, who had invested 81 million euros for the former Stéphanois, would naturally like to recover a significant part of his investment.
The financial aspect therefore represents a major obstacle. The market value of Fofana having decreased due to its physical problems, Chelsea could however choose to wait until the native of Marseille finds his best level before considering a transfer. With a current contract until 2029, Blues have no urgency to decide.
On the player side, the prospect of joining your heart club would of course be favorably welcomed. Fofana only played 14 Premier League games this season.
