Leicester City’s resistance as it relates to parting ways with French center back Wesley Fofana appears to have been broken.
Chelsea and Leicester have reportedly reached a deal that will see the 21-year-old defender become part of the makeover at Stamford Bridge, according to French outlet RMC Sport. L’Equipe reports that the deal is worth $82.5 million, with add-ons potentially making Fofana the most expensive defensive signing in history (that distinction currently belongs to Harry Maguire, another center back on whom Leicester cashed in when it sold to Manchester United for $110 million three years ago).
