Chelsea are actively searching for a new club for David Datro Fofana following the collapse of his loan move to AEK Athens. The Greek transfer window has now closed, leaving the 21-year-old forward without a place in Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Failed Loan Move
The proposed loan deal to AEK Athens was initially announced on 11 September, but faced delays and was ultimately cancelled later that day. This leaves Fofana in a precarious position as Chelsea and his representatives scramble to find an alternative solution.
Current Situation
Fofana, who joined Chelsea from Molde FK, is now out of Maresca’s plans for the season. The club is exploring various options to ensure the Ivorian striker gets regular playing time elsewhere.
Previous Transfer Talks
In late August, Chelsea had already been in discussions about Fofana’s potential exit, indicating the club’s intent to find him a suitable loan destination. However, the recent setback with AEK Athens has complicated these plans.
Next Steps
With the Greek market closed, Chelsea must now look to other leagues where the transfer window remains open. The club and Fofana’s camp are working diligently to secure a new opportunity for the young forward.
