Seko Fofana towards a return to Ligue 1 – Mercato

Seko is still popular in France.

The former RC Lens star, who left for Saudi Arabia in 2023, could make his return to France. According to newspaper information The TeamSchool of Fofana would be one of the priorities of the Stade Rennais winter transfer window. Coveted by Arnaud Pouille, the new president of the club and former CEO of Lens where he and Fofana together wrote some of the most beautiful recent pages in the history of the Artois club, Fofana (29 years old) – loaned this season by Al Nassr to Al Ettifaq – would have been sensitive to the proposal for a four-year contract made by Rennes leaders.

A track also appreciated by the Rouge et Noir sports director, Frédéric Massara, and validated by the new coach Jorge Sampaoli. In the event of arrival in Brittany, the Ivorian international midfielder would be the first major recruit for Ligue 1. With one question though: does Fofana still have the canes to bring back Rennes, current 12^e of Ligue 1, towards its initial objective of finishing European?
