Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana has been linked with a move away from the West London club throughout this summer.
David Datro Fofana was on loan at Union Berlin and Burnley last season, and he does not have a future at Stamford Bridge. A move away from Chelsea would be ideal for him, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, AEK Athens are working on signing the youngster, but Chelsea have turned down their opening offer of a loan move. The Blues value the 21-year-old striker at around £10-12 million and also want a significant sell-on clause. It will be interesting to see if the Greek outfit are willing to pay up for him.
Fofana joined Chelsea back in January 2023, but he has not been able to establish himself as a key player for them. Chelsea will look to get rid of him this summer and balance their books. The player is unlikely to get opportunities at Stamford Bridge, and it would be ideal for him to move on as well. It will be interesting to see if the Greek outfit decides to return with an improved bid.
Fofana needs to play regularly
David Datro Fofana will look to play regularly and get his career back on track. Chelsea cannot provide him with that opportunity. So, leaving the club permanently would be ideal for him. The attacker could be excited to move to Greece, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
There is no doubt that he is a talented striker with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player in the coming seasons. If he manages to fulfil his potential with the Greek outfit, he could prove to be a major bargain for a few of around £10-12 million.
Chelsea will have to comply with the financial regulations, and they will be desperate to get rid of their dead wood. It remains to be seen whether they can finalise the striker’s exit before the transfer window closes across Europe. Although the Super League Greece might seem like a step down, if Fofana manages to impress at AEK Athens, he might be able to join another top club in the future.
