Newly appointed sporting director Luis Campos is said to have identified Fofana, 21, as the perfect option to bolster their ranks this summer. However, the Parisians will face serious competition from Chelsea, who are also interested in the Leicester City defender after missing out on Jules Kounde this month.
As per the aforementioned report, the player isn't opposed to the idea of leaving the King Power Stadium this summer. However, both Chelsea and PSG will need to submit around €60 million to snap up the centre-back.
