Chelsea transfer news: The Blues are close to completing yet another transfer this summer with Edouard Mendy set to leave but a deal has been confirmed before that.
Wesley Fofana has jumped the gun in all but confirming a Chelsea transfer this summer before it is officially announced. During a period of near-daily exits from the Stamford Bridge, the Frenchman has has been a bit hasty to send his goodbyes.
Having only played one game with each other throughout the season, the pair seem to have built up a good relationship off the field regardless. As two French speakers and goal defenders, their lack of game time together is evidence of the individual and team struggles throughout.
After Fofana signed for the club, Mendy found himself injured for most of the rest of the season and also out of form. Their only appearance came in Thomas Tuchel's final game, back in September 2022. Since then their injury issues between them meant that overlapping setbacks saw very little link-up.
Unlike for Kante, Koulibaly and Mateo Kovacic - who was confirmed as having joined Manchester City - Mendy is yet to be announced in a move to Saudi Arabia but is well on his way with Fabrizio Romano writing that a secret medical was completed in London on Monday ahead of the move.
He has also been seen in the country and with a green scarf around his neck before an announcement comes. For Fofana, he has blinked first and wrote on Instagram: "[Translated] My big brother I will miss you, all the best to you and your family."
He reposted Mendy's own upload from the end of 2022 in which he was celebrating a personal achievement having won the Club World Cup and African Cup of Nations.
