According to the Leicester Mercury, Leicester City have withdrawn their interest in Celtic target David Datro Fofana. Leicester were deterred by Chelsea's asking price for a permanent signing. It is reported that Chelsea want £10 million for Fofana.

According to The London Standard and Leicester Mercury, Leicester City have made David Datro Fofana a primary target, and the club's recruitment team has identified the 23-year-old striker as a priority. It is alleged that Chelsea are demanding £10 million to recover their initial investment. The deal is currently paused due to financial logistics. Leicester City have been restricted this season, having only used loans and free agents. The Ivorian is reportedly keen to find a permanent club, but Leicester must reach a compromise with the Blues before the deadline on February 2.

Chelsea have recalled David Datro Fofana from his loan with Turkish club Fatih Karagumruk and are seeking a permanent transfer for the player. This could prevent Leicester City from acquiring the striker, as they would prefer a loan.

According to The Sun, Chelsea have recalled David Datro Fofana from his loan ahead of an expected permanent sale this month. Championship side Leicester are interested in signing Fofana.
