Leicester have made an offer to Saint-Etienne to sign French defender Wesley Fofana in exchange for £ 30 million and a supplement.
According to Sky Sports, the French club did not respond to the offer from the English foxes.
According to the report, the player expressed his desire to play in the English Premier League after starting his career in the French league.
The player, weeks ago, told the French newspaper L’Equipe that he dreams of playing in the English Premier League.
He said about the Leicester City offer at the time: “I will go crazy if I say no to Leicester, this contract can change my life, I want to protect my family, the sporting and financial goal are parallel, I am motivated to say yes. “.
Fofana was among West Ham’s goals, but his French club refused to sell him for £ 33 million as the Hammers made an offer of £ 23 million in addition to 10 million in performance-related incentives with a contract that spans 6 seasons.
Fofana participated this season in 4 games with the green team in the French League.
In total, the 19-year-old defender has played 30 games in all competitions and scored two goals, collecting 9 yellow cards and one red.
Leicester prioritizes the inclusion of a defender, as the Foxes’ name has been linked to the inclusion of James Tarkovsky, Burnelli’s English defender, which is expected to cost the club 30 million pounds.
Brendan Rodríguez has wanted to join the English international since Harry Maguire left Manchester United last summer.
This summer, Leicester beefed up their squad by signing Thimotti Castane from Atalanta and borrowing Genghis Underer from Roma.
