FC Barcelona have reportedly been offered the chance to sign French defender Wesley Fofana by his representatives, according to reports from Sacha Tavolieri . .

Chelsea are understood to be open to listening to offers for the centre-back this summer, with the Premier League club expecting bids in the region of at least €30 million for the player.

However, sources indicate that Barcelona are currently not fully convinced about pursuing a deal for Fofana due to concerns surrounding his injury record and salary expectations.

The French defender is believed to be considered a secondary option within Barcelona’s recruitment plans, with the club prioritising other defensive targets ahead of the summer window.

Even if Barcelona were to advance their interest, the Spanish giants would reportedly prefer a loan deal with an option to buy, while Chelsea are instead pushing for a permanent transfer.

At this stage, no negotiations have progressed significantly, with financial structure differences seen as the main obstacle between all parties involved.
