Chelsea is still trying to get rid of a player from their team and discussions are ongoing to accomplish this by the end of the week.

It has been quite some time since David Datro Fofana graced the field for Chelsea. The last time he played for the team was back in May 2023. However, it seems that his days at Stamford Bridge are numbered as the club is currently in talks to sell him to AEK Athens before the Greek transfer window closes this week.

While the transfer window in England has shut, the one in Greece remains open until Wednesday. This has given Chelsea an opportunity to offload Fofana and make some adjustments to their squad. Unfortunately, it looks like they will have to sell him at a loss.

According to reports from The Athletic, Chelsea are willing to accept less than the £8.4m they paid for Fofana back in January 2023. However, there may be some add-ons that could increase the overall value of the deal. The 21-year-old has not had much playing time with Chelsea, making only four appearances and failing to score in any of them. He spent last season on loan with Union Berlin and Burnley, scoring a total of six goals in 32 appearances.

It seems that Fofana's future lies in Greece as he has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge. He is just one of the many players who have been cast aside by the club this summer. One of the most notable names is Raheem Sterling, who has been loaned out to Arsenal before the transfer window closed.

This has been a summer of major changes for Chelsea, with a busy transfer market and a ruthless approach to trimming their squad. Along with Fofana and Sterling, other players such as Conor Gallagher, Tino Anjorin, Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, and Djorde Petrovic have all secured moves away from the team, either on permanent deals or loans.

Unfortunately, not all players have been able to find new clubs and are now facing a long period of inactivity with the Blues. One of them is England international Ben Chilwell, who has been made available for transfer but has not attracted any interest. It remains to be seen what the future holds for him and the other players who are currently in limbo.
