Brenden Rodgers has confirmed that Leicester rejected a third bid from Chelsea to sign Wesley Fofana worth 70 Million Pounds.
Rodgers said that Leicester are holding firm against Chelsea’s advances for their bright young defender. He also questioned Fofana’s mindset and suggested the player wasn’t living up to his contractual obligations.
From a football perspective, if it happens, the sooner the better, because it might allow us to do some work,” Rodgers said. “The club are aware as time goes on that it becomes more difficult but the valuation needs to be met.”
He continued: “These guys get well-paid, the very least you can do is turn up. If you don’t, with all respect you can’t just walk into our group. Day to day, he’s a good kid, but it’s been hard for him to deal with everything while he is in the right frame of mind. It’s been difficult for him to play.”
ofana was left at home for Leicester’s clash with Southampton this past weekend after Rodgers said that the defender was not totally focused on the club. Chelsea are keen on reinforcing their defence following a 3-0 loss to Leeds.
Fofana originally joined Leicester in 2020, making the move from Saint-Etienne on a five-year deal.
