Barcelona have an opportunity to sign Chelsea\u2018s Wesley Fofana in the summer. <\/strong><\/p>\n The La Liga side are looking to sign a new centre-back and the Chelsea man can be an option.<\/p>\n Over the past few weeks, the Spanish media have talked about Inter Milan\u2019s Alessandro Bastoni as Barcelona\u2019s main target.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s Mundo Deportivo report the Catalan club cools down this option, leaving Bastoni frustrated. The newspaper also stated other centre-backs are also on their list.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Sport Witness covered claims from Spain that Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s Cristian Romero is an alternative to Bastoni.<\/p>\n Hansi Flick\u2019s side could also consider signing Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana. That\u2019s what journalist Sacha Tavolieri is reporting in his column for Sky Sport CH.<\/p>\n He reports the 25-year-old\u2019s agent has offered him to Barcelona, who are studying the possibility of signing him.<\/p>\n Barca are looking for a left footed centre-back while are also exploring options for a right footed defender, and the France international fits into the latter category. His representatives have already held talks with the Blaugrana.<\/p>\n The Camp Nou side prefer to sign the former Leicester City man on loan with an option to buy, to reduce the immediate financial burden.<\/p>\n The Premier League side are \u2018not opposed\u2019 to the idea of parting ways with him. However, the Blues are looking at a permanent transfer and want at least \u20ac30m.<\/p>\n Despite Fofana\u2019s agent offering him to Barcelona, the difference in what the two clubs are seeking could jeopardise the deal.<\/p>\n Transfermarkt value Wesley Fofana, who has a contract until 2029, at \u20ac28m. His highest value was \u20ac58m in 2022, a month after his move to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n Agency Deal With My Agent (DWMA) represent the Frenchman and also represent Belgian players like Benfica\u2019s Dodi Luk\u00e9bakio and Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s Arthur Theate.<\/p>\n Fofana has been out of action for 696 days due to injuries since joining the Club World Cup in August 2022. That could be one of the reasons why Chelsea are looking to offload him.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barcelona have an opportunity to sign Chelsea\u2018s Wesley Fofana in the summer.
