[The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/23/chelsea-have-third-70m-bid-wesley-fofana-rejected-leicester/), Leicester have snubbed Chelsea’s latest bid as they consider the add-ons ‘unrealistic and difficult to achieve’.

Leicester City have rejected a £70 million including add-ons bid from Chelsea for Wesley Fofana.

If something’s not right – no matter who the player is – he has to come out for the greater good of the team and the club. But that decision then will be ultimately down to the feeling of the club. “But you have to set a standard of behaviour and if it’s not quite right and your focus isn’t right, that only hurts your team-mates. If you do it last minute, then you’re really in danger. “He has been in the club. Some players may feel they have lost the opportunity of a dream.

Makes sense to me [City](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/all-about/leicester-city-fc) sold Maguire to [United](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc) for a world-record £80m in 2019 and the Red Devils fanbase are pushing for him to return to Filbert Way. @keefyw : Fofana to Cfc, Maguire back to Leicester? @JEFitz76 : Fofana to Chelsea, Maguire back to Leicester at any price or on loan [Fofana](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/all-about/wesley-fofana) is said to be pushing for a move to Stamford Bridge, with Leicester wanting at least £80 million as the defender sits out his side's games until his future is resolved. @AADesign_Studio : Maguire back to Leicester... Maguire to Leicester for 35m @Stefan_Doyle : If Fofana goes to Chelsea… @Mallon7Niall : Fofana to Chelsea. Manchester United have been told to sell Harry Maguire back to Leicester City if Wesley Fofana joins Chelsea.

Chelsea have had a £70m bid for Leicester's Wesley Fofana rejected and are prepared to pay Everton up to £60m for Anthony Gordon.

Leicester have a bloated squad and hoped to offload fringe players such as Jannik Vestergaard and Boubakary Soumare, both of whom joined the club last summer, in order to fund new signings given financial fair play caps. Leicester are demanding a larger fee than they received for Harry Maguire, who was sold to Manchester United for £80m. Fofana, who has communicated his desire to depart for Chelsea, missed a training session last week and trained alone on another day.

The starting XI: Daniel Iversen, Marc Albrighton (C), Jannik Vestergaard, Çağlar Söyüncü, Luke Thomas, Nampalys Mendy, Youri Tielemans, Dennis Praet, Harvey ...

Iversen had almost nothing to do, facing only one shot on target, but he came up huge during the shootout and almost single-handedly put City into the next round. There’s no way to describe this match as anything but a mild disappointment for the Foxes. The first non-comical chance of the match fell to the Foxes on 25’. Stockport County barely had a touch but somehow managed to create the best chance of the half. This moved captain Marc Albrighton to the right wing as the Foxes switched to a 4-2-3-1. Stockport County acquitted themselves well and on another day might have advanced in the competition. Rodgers, emboldened by the improvement, brought on Ayoze Perez and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for Albrighton and Praet. The first hint of danger from the hosts came on the half-hour mark. Leicester had all of the possession, moved the ball briskly, but couldn’t create any real chances. While Tielemans and Iheanacho were having a contest to see who could shoot from the greatest distance, the Hatters were struggling to get out of their area. The Turkey international received treatment on and off the pitch but was able to carry on without any apparent difficulty. The atmosphere at Edgeley Park was what one would have hoped for with a Premier League side visiting a club newly promoted to League 2.

How we scored the Leicester City players as they progressed to the third round of the Carabao Cup on penalties after a goalless draw with League Two side ...

But he was crowded out for most of the first half and looked uncomfortable on the right in the second. Kelechi Iheanacho: He was too speculative with his shots and too negative with his passing in the first half. Patson Daka: When he got the chance to get involved, he linked play well, and he nearly found the net after the one-two with Praet. Papy Mendy: He gave the ball away for Stockport’s best first-half chance, but he was put in a sticky situation by his team-mates. Luke Thomas: The link-up with Barnes, one of the most exciting parts of his game when he first came into the side, was not there, the pair looking like they had never featured together at times. Marc Albrighton: His clipped balls over the top to Iheanacho and Daka did not result in the chances he and City hoped they would, but at least they were something different to risk-averse passing around the box. He made one flying save and caught a few crosses to keep his clean sheet during the 90 minutes, but then pulled off three outstanding stops low to his right in the shoot-out to save City from an embarrassment. Maddison had a shot trickle wide, Dewsbury-Hall danced around the challenges before his effort was blocked on the line, and then Maddison had another effort palmed over. The second half continued in the same vein as the first, with City unable to break through. With Stockport growing in confidence, they left more space for City to exploit and they did get into the box more often, but without creating anything clear cut. Papy Mendy was put in trouble and then gave the ball away, with Callum Camps blasting goalwards, Iversen palming it out for a corner. For the first 20 minutes, all they had to show for their patience on the ball was a few speculative long-range efforts from Tielemans and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Preston fans have been left wondering just why Brendan Rodgers hasn’t been playing Iversen in the Premier League. Daniel Iversen was the hero for Leicester City on Tuesday night as the former Preston stopper excelled in a penalty shootout against Stockport County. None of Leicester’s 26 shots ended up in the net so the game went to penalties – and that’s where former North End hero Iversen stole the show.

Leicester City (+725) The second question will be if Chelsea can add a much-needed attacker this week, such as Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Leicester City enters the match winless at 0-1-2, having lost at home to Southampton on Saturday. Key players, such as Reece James, are playing out of position, while the Blues midfield continues to struggle on the counterattack. The summer transfer window comes to a close on Thursday, Sept. First, there is the intriguing question of which uniform Wesley Fofana will be wearing this weekend. Koulibaly has arguably been Chelsea’s most valuable player this season, with precision passing and elite concentration on defense as part of Thomas Tuchel’s back three.

The latest Leicester City news as pundits Darren Bent and Ben Foster have had their say on City's transfer window and start to the season.

“I do think he’s (Rodgers) is on a bit of an edge at the minute. “You throw in the Fofanas, people making bids for them, it does, it turns heads and it just unsettles the whole group, so you get results like they did against Southampton at the weekend. But I think even if they let them two players go, I think they have more than enough. It was something Foster agreed with, saying that the current transfer situation is not helping the club. Speaking on TalkSPORT, former Premier League striker Darren Bent has said that he’s not too worried about City’s current form, even if there is sales in the final days of the window. They did however scrape past League Two side Stockport County on penalties on Tuesday night to make it through to the third round of the Carabao Cup. “James Justin I’m a big fan of, Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka, Iheanacho, James Maddison if they can hold onto him. How they lost that Southampton game I don’t know,” he said. I don’t know if he would necessarily get sacked, but I think unless the Leicester board are willing to really invest in the team and get him some players, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s the kind of guy to walk. “You look at their squad and you’re right, they have got some of their better players that have been linked away, the likes of Fofana, Youri Tielemans. “Leicester are a good team, Leicester are a really good team, some of the players you’ve just been reeling off there, they’re propper players they are,” he said.

At the other end, with 10 minutes remaining, Mark Kitching cleared off the line from Dewsbury-Hall, before another Tielemans shot fizzed just shy of the right post, and one by Maddison was tipped over by Jaros. The striker took a touch before the ball was gathered up by Iversen. And Jaros had to be at his best shortly afterwards in holding a well-struck shot by Tielemans. County swapped one Ryan for another upon the resumption – with Johnson replacing Rydel on the left side of defence. And half a dozen minutes later, another, Belgian Youri Tielemans, sent a dipping attempt over from distance.
