Chelsea have reached an agreement to recall David Datro Fofana from his loan spell at Fatih Karagumruk. Football transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have recalled the player. According to Romano, Celtic were linked with a move for the 23-year-old over the summer and have renewed their interest in signing him. Celtic are keen to sign the Chelsea player, who has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €7.1m.

David Datro Fofana's Chelsea wage could be an obstacle for a potential move. Derby fans appear confident that their club can sign Fofana ahead of Celtic. According to Nizaar Kinsella of the BBC, there is significant interest in England and Europe over a permanent move for Fofana this month.

Peter Grant has warned Celtic not to sign David Datro Fofana from Chelsea.

Celtic have been associated with a potential transfer of David Datro Fofana, the Chelsea and Ivory Coast international whose loan at Turkish side Fatih Karagumruk is expected to be terminated early.

According to Sky Sports, Celtic is interested in David Datro Fofana and is competing to sign him this month. Chelsea are likely to be open to either a loan or a permanent transfer. Celtic attempted to sign Fofana in the summer, but he had agreed terms with Charlton before the move did not materialize at the final stage. Celtic might attempt to sign him again, as they are described as being desperate for quality reinforcements this month.

Celtic were linked with Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana. Celtic wanted a loan for the player until the summer, but Chelsea had already reached the allowed limit for loans.

According to the Daily Record, after Celtic revived their interest in David Datro Fofana, the player told the club what he wants at his next club. Fofana is looking for a project where trust, playing time, and ambition align. The report adds that Celtic and Derby County are both attentive to Fofana.

Celtic is considering a permanent transfer for Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana. The club previously attempted to sign the 23-year-old on the last day of the transfer window in September last year, but he rejected the Scottish champions and chose a loan to Charlton Athletic. That move was not completed due to paperwork issues, and two weeks later, Fofana completed a loan to Fatih Karagümrük.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea and David Datro Fofana are working on a permanent departure this window. Several clubs, including Celtic, have expressed interest in a deal. Romano also indicates that discussions are focused on a permanent move rather than another temporary exit. An agreement has not yet been reached. Celtic are expected to evaluate whether a deal represents value and is consistent with their wider January strategy before beginning negotiations.

According to The Daily Record, Celtic are again interested in Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana, who rejected a move to the club late in the summer window. The same report states that Chelsea want to sell the striker this month and are open to a quick sale. The reported purpose of the sale is to free up an international loan slot and to enable players such as Raheem Sterling to be moved for the remainder of the season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Celtic, Royal Antwerp, and Derby County have all expressed interest in a potential deal for David Datro Fofana. Chelsea wants to permanently transfer the striker this winter.

Celtic have initiated discussions with Chelsea regarding David Datro Fofana following Ajax's intervention in their attempt to sign Kasper Dolberg. Celtic have expressed interest in acquiring the 22-year-old Ivorian striker on a loan basis. Initially, Chelsea insisted that Fofana needed to be sold permanently during this summer transfer window, but it appears that their position might be changing as the window approaches its end. Fofana has also attracted attention from French clubs Toulouse and Nice; however, negotiations did not advance due to issues related to wages and the potential for a permanent transfer. The Ivorian striker joined Chelsea in 2022 for a reported fee of €12 million, with four years left on his contract, having made only four senior appearances since his signing. His current market value, as estimated by Transfermarkt, stands at €6.00m.
