It is an understatement to say that the signing of Seko Fofana at Stade Rennais, made official yesterday, did not please the supporters of RC Lens, the club he left a year and a half ago after qualifying for the Champions League.
Yesterday, Wednesday January 1, 2025, Stade Rennais formalized the recruitment of Seko Fofana for four and a half years. The Breton club announced the good news via a video in which supporters play “Guess Head” and must obviously guess that the former Lensois is arriving. On their foreheads is written “Bachelet”, “fries”… And then, the doorbell rings and the Ivorian community, all smiles, wishes a happy new year to the Rennes supporters. This video and this signature did not please racing lovers at all. Who does not forget that Seko Fofana decided to leave Lens for Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023, when the RCL had just qualified for the Champions League, under the pretext that he wanted to protect his people financially. Or even that the former blood and gold captain is a shareholder in Racing, which does not fail to raise questions about a possible conflict of interest during the next Lens-Rennes, on March 16…
“It represents all the football that I hate”
On Yes, football has changed. But leaving RC Lens in the LDC, as captain and shareholder, for such “young” exoticism, spending a year and a half there before returning to Rennes, that represents all the football that I hate. In any case, that closes the debate as to whether Fofana was a legend of RC Lens. It was no before, despite all the good he did for the club (missing the title in particular). It’s no after that.” In tweets since removed, Mazure was also indignant at the fact that Artois was reduced to clichés of fries and Pierre Bachelet.
All these messages suggest a fairly eventful reunion between Bollaert and his former favorite on March 16.
