The 20-year-old will miss the European Under-21 Championships due to a shoulder injury and is currently on holiday in Dubai during the off-season.
He made 38 appearances in all competitions in the recent campaign, was deservedly named the club's Young Player of the Season as he immensely helped the Foxes to win their first-ever FA Cup trophy.
Interested clubs keep contacting Leicester to acquire Fofana's services. However, his contract runs until 2025 and Leicester will be unwilling to part ways with one of their prized assets as they look to finally break into the Champions League.
Side that were most persistent - Manchester United - are actively on the hunt for another commanding centre back this summer, making an initial approach.
It was reported last month that Manchester United had made contact - Foot Mercato claimed the impressive form from the starlet could take him to Old Trafford.
Leicester, on the other end, are closing in on a deal for Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare, with at least two more additional signings for the upcoming season.
