Fofana - How much will we get?

Broke his leg pre Season 2021.

Came back for a few games at the end of last Season

Under contract until 2027

Can Chelsea pay that much when they still need quite a few players? I wouldn’t think they could go over 50

Looks like we could be spending over £300m. I don't know how we're doing this.

We just signed some kid from Villa for £20m.

£65m plus add ons probably, if it even happens. Lot of talk about £80m but the same exact figure was constantly thrown around about Chilwell too, it’s just a tactic to show Leicester won’t be messed around. And fair enough

People will mock me, but he has the potential to be the best centreback in the world.

I would want £80m+ and not a penny less. I genuinely think he’s worth £100m+.

Feel free to laugh, but those that have watched him week in and out know. Step aside Virgil.

Still think we might keep him for a year though.

You're not wrong Mersey, apart from the odd youthful mistake he certainly looks like he'll be World class.

I doubt if they'd pay that much for someone who is young and spent most of last season recovering from injury.

A bit early to be comparing him to Virgil, I'm not sure he's at Vestergaard's standard. If Chelsea need a back up centre half maybe £25M would secure Jannik's services?

Some crazy numbers being mentioned but he’s a very good player no doubt.

Yeah when ive seen him hes looked very promising but those prices will still make it a massive gamble especially on the back of a big long injury.
