Seko Fofana set for Portugal move, but to strengthen a Benfica rival | OneFootball

Porto has a preliminary agreement and is very close to securing the signing of Seko Fofana, a 30-year-old central midfielder, who was linked to Benfica. The player, who currently represents Rennes in Ligue 1, is unlikely to escape the blue and white emblem.

At this moment, the only thing left for the dragons is to reach an agreement with the French club, and currently, the blue and white management is in advanced negotiations, hoping to reach an understanding soon. A loan until the end of the season is on the table.

The player, who participated in the last African Cup of Nations (CAN), has not had many minutes this season and wants to stay in high rotation to be in ideal condition for the next World Cup in 2026. Ivory Coast is in group E with Germany, Curaçao, and Ecuador.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, wearing the Rennes jersey, Seko Fofana - valued at 8 million euros - has only played 12 matches. The footballer has scored one goal in 654 minutes for the team coached by Senegalese coach Habib Beye.
