"I had a conversation (this summer) that really touched me," Fofana told Free Foot.
"I would be lying if I said I didn't weigh it up. It was from (Mehdi) Benatia, Marseille's sporting director.
"It touched me and I think everyone knows why.
"We'll see one day. I still have a contract until 2029 and we'll see after that. I have never hidden it, (Marseille) is my city, my club, I am an OM supporter. We'll see if I end up being at Marseille in a few years, or if I stay at Chelsea for the rest of my career."
