Chelsea have reportedly been approached by a LALIGA side for one of their players.
LALIGA side Real Betis have reportedly contacted Chelsea over a season-long loan deal for Ivorian striker Davide Datro Fofana.
Fofana, 21, was signed by Chelsea from Norwegian side Molde in the winter transfer window of 2023, and he has since gone out on loan to Union Berlin and Burnley.

Transfer News: Napoli push on with Lukaku deal amidst Osimhen to PSG uncertainty
Serie A club SSC Napoli are planning their future with Romelu Lukaku with Victor Osimhen to PSG transfer stalling.
His future at the club next season could be clearer, given the availability of Nicholas Jackson, the anticipated return of Christopher Nkunku, and the signing of Marc Guiu. The Andalusian side are hoping to capitalise on the uncertainty and have approached Chelsea for this acquisition.
Betis approach Chelsea
With the sale of Brazilian striker William Jose to Spartak Moscow, the loan of Borja Iglesias to Celta Vigo, and the injury problems of Chimy Avila, the Seville-based side are light up front, and given their financial situation, they are left with loan deals or opportunity bargains.
Set to compete in the UEFA Conference League next season, Manuel Pellegrini’s side are hoping to strengthen their squad before the start of the season, and according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, they reached out to the Blues for Fofana.

Fofana spent the previous season on loan at two clubs. The first-half was in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin, and the other half was back in the Premier League with Burnley.
He scored six goals in all competitions across both clubs. He has now returned to the fold at Chelsea but was snubbed for the club's pre-season tour in the USA.
Despite omitting him for the tour, which suggests he is not in Enzo Maresca’s plans for next season, the report from MD claims Chelsea told Betis in clear terms that they had no intention of loaning him out.
