Chelsea recently declined an overseas club’s proposal for their 21-year-old player, demonstrating the club’s intent to maintain certain young talents despite ongoing transfer activities.
European Clubs Still Active in Transfer Market
Although the Premier League transfer window has closed, many European leagues are still open for business, with their respective deadlines approaching soon. As a result, several Chelsea players are still being linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge this month.
Chilwell Linked to Jose Mourinho’s Squad
One of the notable rumors is about Ben Chilwell, the 27-year-old defender, who is reportedly on the radar of Jose Mourinho’s team. TEAMtalk has mentioned that Fenerbahce plans to continue discussions this weekend regarding Chilwell’s potential transfer.
AEK Athens’ Interest in David Datro Fofana
Greek club AEK Athens has reportedly made an initial offer to secure Chelsea’s young striker, David Datro Fofana, on a loan deal, as reported by TEAMtalk. The Greek transfer window remains open until September 11, giving them some time to finalize the deal.
Chelsea’s Stance on Fofana’s Future
Chelsea, however, has turned down AEK’s loan offer for Fofana. The club appears more inclined to sell the 21-year-old outright, aiming to fetch a fee in the range of £10-12 million while also securing a significant sell-on clause as part of any agreement.
AEK’s Pursuit of the Ivorian Forward
AEK Athens is keen on bolstering their attacking options with the Ivory Coast international, and it will be interesting to see if they return with an improved offer that aligns with Chelsea’s demands.
Fofana’s Uncertain Future at Stamford Bridge
Unfortunately, it seems there’s no clear path for Fofana to break into Chelsea’s first team. A transfer move could be beneficial for all parties involved if a deal is struck within the next week.
Fofana’s Loan Spells and Performance
Last season, Fofana was loaned out twice—first to Union Berlin in Germany and later to Burnley in the Premier League. His performances caught the eye, with former Burnley manager Vincent Kompany even praising him as “outstanding” during one of his displays, as noted by Burnley Express. Fofana is known for his speed, energy, and dynamic movement, but it remains to be seen if AEK will commit to a permanent deal for the young striker.
