According to information from Jeunesfooteux, Stade Rennais is said to have received several offers for Seko Fofana, but none have convinced the Breton club’s directors. The offers made for the Ivorian midfielder were deemed insufficient by the club, which is reportedly unwilling to part with its player on just any terms. The best offer received by the directors was reportedly a loan without an option to buy, under which the interested club proposed covering less than 40% of Seko Fofana’s salary. This offer was quickly rejected by the Rennes management, as it considers the financial terms too low.

Seko Fofana was sold for a loss of just under €10m.

Seko Fofana, who was absent from the Rennes squad for the match against Lorient, could leave the club this winter. Coach Habib Beye stated that for him, it was a choice based on performance. Beye said that Rennes has eight midfielders, that there are players performing very well, and that Fofana has to work to reintegrate the group. The coach added that there are opportunities, and they will see if a move is the best choice for the player and the club.

Seko Fofana, the 30-year-old central midfielder, does not intend to leave Rennes this winter. This is despite rumors of a departure due to his situation with the Red and Blacks, where he became a substitute at the beginning of November before getting injured during the last international break. According to L'Equipe, the Ivorian international wants to stay and establish himself in Brittany. Fofana, who joined the club in January 2025, has a contract that runs until 2029 and has made 10 appearances and scored 1 goal in Ligue 1 this season. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €10.00m.
