Seko Fofana was one of FC Porto’s main bets in the winter transfer market, contributing in several of the most important moments of a campaign that ended with the national title. For that reason, a permanent transfer for the Ivory Coast international is a possibility that appeals to the blue-and-white fans, although the deal presents several obstacles.

First of all, Seko Fofana is under contract with Rennes until 2029 and earns a salary of six million euros per year, a figure that is far too high for the Dragons’ finances, especially considering that the French club is also expected to demand a transfer fee.

Another obstacle to his stay at the Dragão is related to the arrival of Franck Haise as Rennes head coach, a manager who has a special connection with the player. In half a season wearing the FC Porto shirt, the 31-year-old midfielder scored 3 goals in 17 appearances.
