FC Porto want to keep Seko Fofana, but wages are a major hurdle | OneFootball

Seko Fofana arrived at FC Porto in the winter transfer window from Rennes, and his loan deal will come to an end at the end of the season. The midfielder has made a good impression on the club’s hierarchy and the blue-and-white fans, but a permanent signing is unlikely to become a reality.

The main obstacle is his salary. According to Capology, Seko Fofana earns €3.6 million per year, a figure FC Porto may struggle to afford. Even so, André Villas-Boas could try to convince Seko Fofana to accept a pay cut.

The midfielder has already played in Saudi Arabia, where he once earned €15 million per season, having significantly reduced that amount upon returning to European football. Seko Fofana is 30 years old and, in the service of FC Porto, has made 10 appearances and scored three goals. His contract with Rennes runs until 2029.
