Chelsea are open to selling Wesley Fofana this summer after his agent has made an offer to Barcelona, according to reports.
The French centre-back has struggled to find his best form at Stamford Bridge, despite initially appearing to be a fantastic signing after impressing at former club Leicester City.
But now, given the financial hit from missing out on Champions League qualification, the Blues will likely need to sell a few pieces this summer, so it could make sense for Chelsea to let Fofana go if they have a taker.

According to Sascha Tavolieri, Fofana is a player who could be signed for at least 30 million euros.
Posting on X, Tavolieri said:Wesley Fofana’s file is on Barça’s table… To see what the Catalans do with it.”
There’s a good chance that the 25-year-old will revive his career in the coming years, so Barcelona could well be tempted by Fofana, even if he wasn’t at his best at Chelsea.

Wesley Fofana needs to leave Chelsea
It would be no exaggeration to say that Fofana has not benefited from his time at CFC, but it is also an environment where very few players have improved.
It could make sense for the former Foxes ace to try a new challenge and go overseas, perhaps playing in a slightly less physically competitive, demanding and fast-paced league.
However, it will be interesting to see how this situation develops, as Barça fans may also feel that their club can do better, but it seems like the Catalan giants are not necessarily going to take advantage of the opportunity they have been given just yet.
