Seko Fofana completes medical ahead of Rennes move | OneFootball

Seko Fofana (29) has completed a medical ahead of a move to Stade Rennais, according to a report from Le Parisien.

As reported by L’Équipe and Ouest-France last week, Rennes are nearing a €20m agreement to sign Fofana from Al-Nassr. The 2024 AFCON winner is currently on loan at fellow Saudi side Al Ettifaq, however, the former RC Lens midfielder has been keen on a return to Ligue 1.

As revealed by Get French Football News, Fofana was already in France last week and Le Parisien now report that he has now undergone a medical in Paris ahead of the move. That medical, which took place on Monday, has been successful.

Fofana, who is following in the footsteps of Jota in trading Saudi Arabia for Rennes, had an offer from another club in the Gulf State but turned it down, opting for a return to France with the presence of former Lens president Arnaud Pouille at Roazhon Park making a difference in the midfielder’s final decision.
