As reported by different media in England, the Chelsea is closely following the evolution of Wesley Fofana to reinforce his defense for next season, taking into account that the incorporation of Jules Koundé and the imminent departure of Antonio Rüdiger have been complicated due to the end of his contract in the summer of 2022.
The blue team, which is one of the best in the world and intends to break the dominance of Manchester City and Liverpool in recent years in the Premier League, intends to close several signings to build a world-class squad with the ability to compete for the four most important titles each season (Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup).
A new option
One of the positions that need to be strengthened is the rear because Thomas Tuchel uses three centrals and the departure of Rüdiger seems to be closer and closer to materializing with Bayern Munich, Juventus of Turin and Real Madrid pending to make him an offer to sign as a free agent in 2022. César Azpilicueta, who has also played as a center-back, also ends his contract in the summer of 2022 and everything seems to indicate that he will leave.
The new option being considered by the board is Wesley Fofana, who has just had an impressive season at Leicester City and suffered a long-term injury in the preseason that has taken him away from the courts since then. But, in his own words, he could bounce back earlier than expected and play in December.
Wesley Fofana is one of the best young center-backs in the world and he showed last season that he can perform as one of the best on the planet in every way. His return activated the interest of the Blue team, which sees him as an interesting option for the short and long term.
