Born in Marseille, Wesley Fofana did not give in to the sirens of OM this summer. However, they rang well. In an interview given to Free Foot This Wednesday, the Chelsea defender revealed that Medhi Benatia, sporting director of OM, had called him to try to convince him to join his favorite club. An approach that did not leave the player indifferent, but his priority was to establish himself with the Blues, where he has been playing for two years.
“I had a call that really touched me, and it would be a lie to say that I didn’t calculate it. It was Medhi Benatia, sporting director of OM, and it touched meconfided the player trained at ASSE. Everyone knows why… I had a thought, but the goal, at the moment, is to succeed at Chelsea, to try to play matches, to impose myself, and OM, we’ll see one day. I have a contract until 2029, we’ll see after that. I’ve never hidden it, Marseille is my city, my club, I’m an OM supporter. It turns out that in a few years, I’ll be there, or it turns out that I’ll spend my entire career at Chelsea.»
