Overview
- Reports Wednesday say Deco has spoken with Wesley Fofana’s representatives after the defender was offered to Barcelona.
- Chelsea are open to a permanent sale and have indicated a price close to €30 million, according to multiple outlets.
- Barcelona would favor a loan with an option to buy because of tight finances in this window.
- Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni remains Barcelona’s preferred centre-back target, so Fofana is viewed as a fallback option on a wider list.
- Coverage conflicts on the player’s stance, with the Daily Mail saying he wants to stay at Chelsea even as agents explore options, and no agreement has been announced.
