Leicester City will be holding out for a huge sum if they are to let Wesley Fofana leave, amid interest from Manchester United a report claims.

The defender eventually managed 12 appearances between the Premier League and Europa Conference League after his long-awaited return. However, with Leicester failing to qualify for Europe, his future is now in the spotlight.

RMC Sport are now reporting that Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in signing the 21-year-old, but the Leicester star will cost in the region of £68m

In Manchester, there have been concerns over their last purchase from Leicester, Harry Maguire, amid struggles for consistency.

Fofana has proven himself already in English football and at the age of 21 has further margin for growth. Therefore, United could try to test Leicester’s resolve.

But with a £68m price tag on his head, that’ll be highly unlikely as United are limited on funds to spend this summer.

Only Maguire himself has left the club for a fee in that region before. Yet Leicester are in a strong position with Fofana, whose contract will run until 2027 after he signed an extension in March.
