🗣️ Rodgers on whether Fofana asked to be left out or it was his decision. "It was both of us. It was off the back of an open conversion."
#CFC see Fofana as their top priority before the window shuts.

There has been lots of back and forth over both the number and structure. #CFC want to get as close to a 'final' offer as they can with imminent bid to put pressure on #LCFC, who still say valuation hasn't come close. But that stance is based on the two rejected bids.
Chelsea hope a deal is done before they host Leicester on August 27, not so much because they want Fofana for the fixture. Game itself doesn't really alter anything even though it's a nice subplot. It's to give them time to look elsewhere in the market if they don't succeed.
Chelsea remain confident a deal will be finally agreed. The reason for this is because there has been more meaningful dialogue, whereas the first two bids were essentially dismissed out of hand.
