Two of Chelsea’s most expensive signings have attracted interest from the same club.
Right now, Enzo Maresca will be very happy with his squad. In attack and defence, he has some really good options.
However, the Italian will not be able to keep all of them happy. Maresca has not been able to give Mykhailo Mudryk too much game time in the Premier League this season.
It has now been claimed that Marseille want Mudryk on loan, but he is not the only Chelsea player the French club like.
Wesley Fofana unlikely to leave Chelsea
Wesley Fofana recently admitted that he spoke to Marseille about a transfer amid interest from the Ligue 1 side.
However, according to CaughtOffside, a move to Roberto De Zerbi’s team is unlikely for the time being, with there being no issues between Fofana and Maresca.
Fabrizio Romano has also claimed that Fofana feels that Chelsea fans haven’t seen his full potential yet, which is understandable given all of the injury problems the central defender has had since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
However, Fofana is fully fit again and has started in all five of the Blues’ Premier League games so far this season.
Marseille will not be able to afford Wesley Fofana
Chelsea signed Fofana from Leicester City for £70m. He is still only 23 and has so much potential.
If the Blues are to sell Fofana any time soon, then they are going to want a big fee for him. It is hard to imagine Marseille being able to stump up the cash for his signature.
Chelsea are unlikely to get £70m for the Frenchman after all of his injury problems, but again, you would still expect them to demand a large fee.
The idea of selling Fofana is obviously not something that they are considering right now, nor should it be. Maresca has already expressed his admiration for Fofana and now that he is fully fit again, it is time to see what the France international can really do.
