Chelsea told to make huge Man United transfer decision as Wesley Fofana alternative eyed

Chelsea icon Emmanuel Petit has urged his former club to sign Manchester United captain Harry Maguire before the summer transfer window shuts.

The Blues have had a third bid for Leicester star Wesley Fofana turned down by the Foxes this week with the club preparing a new bid in the region of £75million. Leicester value Fofana at £80million, a fee that would match the world record for a defender currently held by Maguire after he moved from the King Power Stadium to Old Trafford.

Chelsea are said to have enquired about the availability of Maguire this summer with the England international having been left out of Erik ten Hag's side that beat Liverpool 2-1 on Monday night. Petit believes a move for Maguire would be a 'win-win' for both parties and has urged the Blues to make a move for the 29-year-old.
