FC Porto in talks with Rennes over fresh Seko Fofana loan | OneFootball

FC Porto are considering bringing Seko Fofana back. The Ivorian midfielder, who currently plays for Rennes, is once again on the Dragons’ radar, with the club looking to negotiate a new loan deal following his spell there in the second half of last season.

Signed in January, Fofana quickly became an important figure in the Porto squad and helped them win the national championship, scoring three goals in 18 matches. The experience at the Dragão is said to have been a positive one for the midfielder, who was also pleased with the city and the atmosphere at the club. FC Porto see the player’s return as a solution to strengthen an area of the pitch left weakened by Rodrigo Mora’s move to Roma.

The Dragons are reportedly in talks with Rennes over the terms of a new loan. With no place in the French club’s plans, Fofana is looking for an alternative to continue his career.

The midfielder’s salary, estimated at around six million euros gross per year, is the main obstacle to the deal. Even so, the prospect of playing in the Champions League and the player’s own willingness could work in Porto’s favour. Although there are other clubs interested, Fofana will give priority to FC Porto, in a move that could return an important player to the team that won the title.

At the press conference previewing the match against Arouca, Francesco Farioli did not rule out the midfielder’s return.
