Leicester City remain keen on St Etienne defender Wesley Fofana.
Le 10 Sport says Leicester have failed with a recent proposal of €25m for Fofana.
However, the Foxes haven't dropped their pursuit and are expected to try again later in the month.
ASSE are willing to sell, though coach Claude Puel is lobbying for Fofana to be taken off the market for the new season.
AC Milan and RB Leipzig are also keen, though it is Leicester which are showing the most serious interest.
