Seko Fofana is back at FC Porto and spoke to the club’s official media.

Francesco Farioli and the rest of his teammates: “I’ve already spoken with the manager, who is a fantastic person. That makes me feel very comfortable, and my teammates too. I also spoke with several players who told me to come back. At the end of last season, before we won the league, they already wanted me to stay. I’m very happy to be able to reunite with them, and I want to thank everyone, because if I’m here today, it’s also thanks to them.”

Continuity in the squad: “It’s important to have continuity. Once again, we have players fully committed to the project, with an incredible mentality, and that makes everything much easier. I’m sure that with work and time we will achieve our objectives again.”

Leaving the past behind: “It’s essential to leave behind everything we have been through. The past should only inspire us for the future. We know every game will be difficult, because everyone wants to beat FC Porto, but we are a great team and we are able to reflect after every match. We have enough quality to make the difference in every game, so we will keep working and maintain this winning mentality. Hopefully we have a good season.”

Relationship with the fans: “It will be a pleasure to see the FC Porto fans again. I received so many messages — I can’t reply to all of them, but they all showed me a lot of affection. The goal is to give my all on the pitch. I’m lucky to represent a fantastic club, and I will give everything in every match to make them happy.”

Most memorable memories: “It’s hard to choose just one. I experienced fantastic moments, when we faced difficulties and managed to turn things around. There were also moments off the pitch, like when we celebrated winning the title with the fans. Those are moments that stay with you for life. I keep many memories, because my first experience at FC Porto was great.”

Objectives for 2026/27: “The objectives are always the same: prepare for every game to beat the opponents who will want to beat FC Porto. I know we are ready; mentally, we are ready. We have an exceptional group that will give everything to achieve our objectives.”

Following the team from afar: “I watched every game this season. For me, it was very important to keep watching my teammates. I recognized the patterns of play, understood the team’s intentions, and that made me smile when I saw Borja (Sainz)’s goal in the last game.”
