The former captain of Racing Club de Lens could make his return to France! On the other hand, it is not a return to the fold that is expected. The Ivorian midfielder could find Arnaud Pouille at Stade Rennais.
Leaving Racing in the summer of 2023, Seko Fofana took the direction of Saudi Arabia. The opportunity for him to take on a new exotic challenge, but also to pocket a nice salary. His Saudi adventure then led him to leave Al-Nassr for Al-Ettifaq on loan. A loan that could stop there, since Fofana is coveted in Ligue 1as written The Team.
A reunion with Arnaud Pouille, far from Lens?
The former general director of RC Lens, Arnaud Pouille is busy trying to recruit the midfielder. In Rennes, we are looking for an experienced player, and Seko Fofana's profile fills all the boxes.
Still according to the sports daily, the name was validated by the current coach, Jorge Sampaoli, who never minced his words to express that the team he had just taken over lacked individual talent. Now, Rennes must still convince Al-Nassr to let go of the player. A task that promises to be difficult, especially when we remember that the Saudi club had paid more than 20 million euros for his services a year and a half ago. But Rennes could well raise the sum necessary to validate the transaction, and above all, offer a long-term lease to the 29-year-old player.
