Bayern Munich Reject Chance to Sign Chelsea Defender Wesley Fofana
Bayern Munich have reportedly turned down the chance to sign Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana this summer. The Bundesliga champions are in the market for a new central defender and have already agreed personal terms with Napoli’s Kim Min-Jae. However, despite Thomas Tuchel being a huge admirer of the France international, Bayern consider a deal for the Chelsea defender too expensive.
Chelsea Signing Wesley Fofana
Wesley Fofana joined Chelsea in a £75 million deal from Leicester City last August but the 22-year-old only made 20 appearances last season due to a knee injury. Chelsea are actively looking to trim down Mauricio Pochettino’s squad ahead of the new season and have already allowed Kalidou Koulibaly to leave Stamford Bridge this month.
Thomas Tuchel’s Admiration for Wesley Fofana
Thomas Tuchel is said to be a huge fan of Wesley Fofana but Bayern Munich believe a deal for the Chelsea defender is too expensive. The France international has been offered to the German club for the summer window but they have decided against signing him.
Chelsea Players Leaving Stamford Bridge
Trevoh Chalobah’s future at Stamford Bridge is also uncertain as Inter are considering a move for the 23-year-old. Elsewhere, AC Milan are pressing ahead with talks to sign Christian Pulisic, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is currently in Italy for his medical checks ahead of a move to San Siro.
