The Foxes may sell some of its stars amid fears over Financial Fair Play. Their number one choice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has an agreement to join French club Nice Belgian International midfielder Youri Tielemans who is strongly linked with a move to Arsenal.
Leicester are yet to make any signings this summer and they will have to sell players before buying them. Fofana is one of the names linked with a move away after an impressive display in Leicester's backline.
