FC Porto in talks to loan Seko Fofana and Terem Moffi by Monday | OneFootball

In the final days of the winter transfer window—which closes at 11:59 p.m. on Monday—activity is expected at the Dragão. Farioli says he is satisfied with the current squad and Villas-Boas has hinted that there may be no further departures, but talks are ongoing with Nice and Rennes to try to secure the loans of Terem Moffi and Seko Fofana, in both cases with a purchase option at the end of the season.

In the case of midfielder Seko Fofana, the signing will only go ahead if there is a departure. There is already a preliminary agreement with the player, who is waiting for developments at FC Porto, and negotiations with Rennes are well advanced. Eustáquio is the player who could leave the club: Farioli praised him recently, but, as it is a World Cup year, the Portuguese-Canadian is looking for more playing time. His participation in the tournament, which his country is co-hosting, is not at risk, but his starting position is, so Stephen is seeking a solution, with the assurance from the blue and whites that there will be no obstacles. For now, however, nothing concrete has materialized. At the end of the match against Gil Vicente, Farioli dodged the question about whether this had been Eustáquio’s last game; the fact that he asked the midfielder to speak in the locker room could, however, be interpreted as a farewell sign.

As for strengthening the attack, it does not depend on any departure, but rather on the need to cover the prolonged absence of Luuk de Jong and to guard against occasional absences of Samu or Deniz Gül. Therefore, the deal should be done on a loan basis, “pushing” any potential investment to next season. O JOGO has learned that Terem Moffi is the preferred choice and talks have already been underway for several days, although other names are also being considered. The 26-year-old striker is at odds with Nice, has clearly expressed his intention to leave, and sees FC Porto as the right step at this stage of his career, attracted by the chance to compete for titles and the opportunity to work again with Farioli, who knows his abilities well. Besiktas is also following the situation.

Moffi finds himself at a crossroads, with his future at Nice in jeopardy due to tension with the fans. The situation worsened at the end of November 2025, when Moffi and Jeremie Boga were allegedly assaulted. Since then, Porto’s target has been sidelined and hasn’t played again, fueling speculation that a split is imminent.
