Wesley Fofana wants to continue his young career at Leicester. The leaders of ASSE disagree and are about to make a decision.
Having made a very good start to the season, AS Saint-Étienne must manage the Wesley Fofana case. The promising 19-year-old central defender has been appointed to take over from Loïc Perrin, who has retired, and William Saliba, transferred to Arsenal. The profile of the player trained in the Greens is however much appreciated by Leicester, who decided to put 30 ME on the table to secure his services. Despite his four years of contract remaining, Fofana made his decision. He wishes to leave. “By putting in this amount Leicester is proving he really wants me. It’s a real sports project. This time I can’t refuse ”, he said last week.
But now, his leaders could put an end to his dreams. According to France Bleu, ASSE is about to turn down the Foxes’ offer. The management of the Forez club is fully aware of the talent of its element. The Stéphanois decision-makers want the native of Marseille to continue his progress at the club. They are optimistic that they will get a bigger transfer fee next summer if the player continues to string together convincing outings on the green rectangle. He may not like the move, but he has indicated he will not clash to force his departure to the Premier League. A standoff with the central defender is therefore not envisaged. The soap opera divides among supporters, they will soon be fixed.
