Chelsea are hoping to get rid of multiple players in the summer, and Wesley Fofana could be on his way out of the club as well.
Wesley Fofana has struggled with persistent injury problems, and Chelsea need a more reliable option at the back. The Blues paid €85 million for the French defender, but he has not been able to justify that investment so far. According to Fichajes, they are lining up a summer fire sale, and Fofana is likely to be on the chopping block.
The Frenchman was regarded as one of the finest young defensive talents in European football when he joined Chelsea, but injury problems have not allowed him to showcase his true quality. It remains to be seen whether he can stay on beyond this season and prove his worth at Stamford Bridge.
The player is highly rated by Enzo Maresca, and the Italian has been vocal about his admiration for the youngster in the past. It remains to be seen whether the Chelsea manager can convince the club to hold on to the young defender.
There are no question marks over his quality as a player, but Wesley Fofana’s availability remains a major concern. Chelsea are pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification, and they need quality players who will be available. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Chelsea have an extensive list of players who could leave
Apart from Wesley Fofana, they could look to get rid of several fringe players, including Axel Disasi, Andrey Santos, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka, Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mike Penders, Deivid Washington, Caleb Wiley, Alfie Gilchrist, and Bashir Humphreys.
Meanwhile, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Marc Guiu, David Fofana, Noni Madueke, Robert Sanchez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Christopher Nkunku, and Mykhailo Mudryk could be shown the door as well.
Chelsea are looking to raise €500 million so that they can bring in multiple quality players. They will be competing in the UEFA Champions League, and there is no doubt that they need better players at their disposal. It will be interesting to see if they can sell all of their deadwood and replace them adequately in the coming months.
