Chelsea stunned by Leicester's mega price for Fofana sale

Leicester City are demanding huge money to sell Wesley Fofana this summer.

The French defender is interesting Chelsea, though the Foxes' current asking price is putting them off.

The Blues are believed to be prepared to offer players as part of a deal in a bid to lure the 21-year-old away from the King Power Stadium, says the Daily Mail.

However, Leicester do not wish to sell the French youth international for less than £85m.

Fofana signed a five-year contract with the Foxes in March, and Brendan Rodgers is reportedly not interesting in letting the young prospect leave without garnering a significant fee.

Fofana will also need some convincing as he has been told by France coach Didier Deschamps that he is in his World Cup plans thanks to what he has done as a Leicester player.
