Brendan Rodgers was reluctant to comment on the future of Wesley Fofana following Chelsea's 2-1 win over Leicester City. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his defence following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
football.london understand that the two clubs have reached an agreement over the signing of Fofana in a deal which could become a world-record fee. It's said that the Blues returned with a fourth bid this week worth a guaranteed £70million, with further add-ons seeing the transfer exceed £80million.
It's also understood that the Frenchman has grown restless amid the saga and has felt as if the Foxes were trying to price him out of an exit from the King Power Stadium. Fofana is believed to have already agreed personal terms over a move to west London.
