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

In the last days of the winter market – which closes at 11:59 PM on Monday – there is expected to be activity at Dragão. Farioli says he is satisfied with the current squad and Villas-Boas hinted that there may not be any more departures, but there are ongoing talks with Nice and Rennes to try to secure the loans of Terem Moffi and Seko Fofana, both with an option to buy at the end of the season.

In the case of midfielder Seko Fofana, the signing will only proceed if there is a departure. There is already a preliminary agreement with the player, who is waiting for movements at FC Porto, and negotiations with Rennes are well underway. Eustáquio is the player who might leave the club: Farioli praised him recently, but, being a World Cup year, the Portuguese-Canadian is seeking more playing time. His participation in the competition that his country co-hosts is not at risk, but his starting position is, so Stephen is looking for a solution, with the assurance from the blues and whites that there will be no obstacles. For now, however, nothing is concrete. At the end of the match against Gil Vicente, Farioli avoided the question of whether it was Eustáquio's last game; the fact that he asked the midfielder to speak in the locker room can, 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 anticipate occasional absences of Samu or Deniz Gül. Therefore, the deal should be made on loan, “pushing” the potential investment to the next season. O JOGO found that Terem Moffi is the preferred choice and talks have been ongoing for a few days, although there are other names on the list. The 26-year-old forward 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 competition for titles and the chance to work again with Farioli, who knows his abilities well. Besiktas is also following the case.

Moffi finds himself at a crossroads, with his future at Nice at risk 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, the Porto target has been on leave and has not played again, fueling speculation that a separation is imminent.
