FC Porto keen to keep Seko Fofana at the Dragão after quick impact | OneFootball

FC Porto are considering moving to sign Seko Fofana on a permanent deal for next season, after the midfielder arrived on loan in January.

The Porto hierarchy want to keep the Ivory Coast international in the squad, at a time when the player belongs to Rennes. At 31, Fofana impressed at the Dragão in the second half of the season and earned his place among the team’s options.

The latest information points to a clear intention from the Dragons to begin negotiations with the French club, which still hold the midfielder’s rights. Fofana’s contract with Rennes runs until 2029, so any stay at FC Porto will depend on an agreement between the two clubs.

Fofana arrived in Portuguese football during the 2026 winter transfer window and made an immediate impact in Porto’s midfield, strengthening an area where the team had been looking for more intensity and experience. His performances have led FC Porto to seriously consider turning the loan into a permanent transfer.

For now, the process is at the assessment stage, with Porto’s officials studying the conditions of a possible deal. The player’s stay at the Dragão is therefore emerging as one of the stories to follow in the coming weeks of the transfer window.
