How on earth are Chelsea going to pull off this Wesley Fofana transfer mission?
Despite all the odds being stacked against Todd Boehly, this hasn't put the American off trying to broker what would be a statement signing type of deal if the Blues are to be successful in this scenario. The Athletic have reported that the Blues are working on deals currently for the Frenchman and Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries. A transfer operation which could cost the current World Champions in the region of £120million.
Now add that onto the £90-odd million already spent on Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling and that would take Chelsea's spend for the summer to around £210million. If all was to go well in this situation, those four signings would exceed the budget of £200million set by Boehly at the start of the summer. It was a budget that manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly wanted to stretch to six signings minimum.
