Even if Chelsea fans have gained some hope from Wesley Fofana taking Leicester City out of his Twitter bio on Tuesday afternoon, the playing field over his potential transfer remains the same.
Leicester will demand a huge fee from Todd Boehly to get the French defender out of the King Power Stadium this year. The Foxes know his worth and also are well aware of Chelsea's growing desperation in this window to secure another defender after the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly last month.
Talks of a world-record fee for a defender are already being touted, or at the very least, getting close to the £85m Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire in 2019.
