David Datro Fofana has completed a loan move from Chelsea to AEK Athens, with the agreement including a non-mandatory buy option set at £20 million. The Greek club has until June 2025 to decide whether to exercise this option.

Loan Agreement Details

The 21-year-old forward has agreed to the terms, and the necessary paperwork is currently being finalised. This move follows a series of discussions and transfer talks that have been ongoing since late August.

Background and Previous News

Fofana’s potential departure from Chelsea had been anticipated for several weeks. Previous reports indicated that Chelsea was exploring various options for the Ivorian striker, who joined the club in January 2023 from Molde FK. His style of play is characterised by his pace and ability to play both as a central striker and on the wings.

Future Prospects

The loan deal provides Fofana with an opportunity to gain more first-team experience in the Greek Super League. AEK Athens will monitor his performance closely before making a decision on the buy option next summer.
