Ivorian midfielder Seko Fofana is making a return to Ligue 1, having signed with French club Rennes. The 28-year-old joins the team from Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, where he was on loan to Al Ettifaq.
The transfer, valued at over €20 million, marks a significant move for Rennes as they aim to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season. Fofana’s arrival is expected to enhance the team’s competitiveness both domestically and internationally.
Fofana’s previous performances at RC Lens from 2020 to 2023 earned him widespread acclaim and attention from top European clubs. His return to France has sparked excitement among fans, who are optimistic about his ability to elevate Rennes’ performance.
In addition to Fofana, Rennes is reportedly pursuing goalkeeper Brice Samba, another standout talent from Lens, as part of their efforts to reinforce the team.
The move underscores Rennes’ ambition to make a strong statement in Ligue 1 and beyond, with Fofana’s experience and skillset seen as a key component of their strategy.
