Despite making 34 appearances across all competitions, Fofana's injury issues have limited his playing time. As a result, Chelsea might be willing to let him go.

Marseille is reportedly interested in acquiring Fofana's services. They were previously interested in signing him ahead of the 2024-25 season but a deal did not happen.

Chelsea is undecided whether to let Fofana leave permanently or on a one-season loan.
