The French network, ” RMC “, said that the two clubs had held several talks over the past weeks, and today they reached an agreement for the 21-year-old, who will become the most expensive defender in the world.
The value of the deal is expected to exceed the number paid by Manchester United to join Harry Maguire from Leicester in 2019, which amounted to 80 million pounds.
This comes after Leicester agreed to Chelsea’s fourth bid to join Fofana, after rejecting the previous offer, which amounted to 60 million pounds, along with 10 million pounds in additions.
And Brendan Rodgers, the Leicester coach, had previously excluded Fofana from the team and began training with the under-21 team, due to his absence from training in order to force his team to move to Chelsea, to miss the match against Chelsea, on Saturday.
