Over the last few weeks, Paris Saint-Germain has been linked to Inter Milan’s Milan Škriniar. Still, the capital club appears to have Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana as an alternative option.
PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos hopes to add a central defender before the summer transfer window closes. L’Equipe (via Hadrien Grenier) reports that The Foxes have set their asking price for the France international.
According to the French publication, Leicester City will not negotiate a transfer fee below €60 million for Fofana, who is under contract until 2027. As a result, the English club doesn’t need to sell.
The Premier League side is counting on the 21-year-old for next season, but they won’t stand in his way if an offer arrives that meets their demands for the France international.
Les Parisiens aren’t the only club eyeing the young defender, as Chelsea and Manchester City are also keen on Fofona, so there’s plenty of competition for the center-back that will drive up the cost for the Leicester City man.
This is a made up story. The real giveaway is the claim that Leicester have ‘set their valuation’ for Fofana. For good business reasons, Leicester never reveal in advance what they will accept for a player they don’t want to sell. In addition, the club are unlikely to consider offers below £100m
