If Paris Saint-Germain had been looking for a new central defender, they would have seen if they could sign a French player for the position and that would be Wesley Fofana.
Luis Campos’s goals for a defender who could be a star
The signing of a new starting centre-back for Paris Saint-Germain is one of Luis Campos’s top goals for this summer.

Since the beginning of the year, Luis Campos’ top goal has been to sign the Inter Milan defender, but talks with the player have not yet led to a deal.
PSG have set things up so that they can make a purchase of an upcoming star in the Premier League while the Milan Skriniar case is still being heard. Sky Sports says that Paris Saint-Germain is now also trying to sign Wesley Fofana. After a successful first season in England, many people want the French player who plays for Leicester. After coming back from a serious injury, the 20-year-old defender had a great season in 2021.
Because of how well-known he is, Chelsea is interested in him, and it looks like the Blues will do anything to sign him this summer. The Londoners made an offer to buy Wesley Fofana from the Foxes for 80 million euros, but they turned it down. In order to catch up to Chelsea, it’s possible that Paris Saint-Germain will soon make Leicester City their first offer.
Wesley Fofana is what Paris SG wants
In the race between Chelsea and PSG to sign Wesley Fofana, PSG is a tough competitor. Since the investigation into Milan Skriniar was over, the Parisians were free to focus on the new lead. Fofana is willing to play for Chelsea, so PSG will still have to do a good job of convincing him to join them. Paris Saint-Germain will also have to give up some things to meet Leicester’s high standards. Reports from the English press say that the central defender may cost around 95 million euros to buy.
