Reliable reports suggest that Porto and Rennes have agreed an agreement for Seko Fofana - with personal terms and contract talks imminent. The midfielder has yet to sign off on the move, but negotiations over wages and contract clauses are in motion, with all parties hoping for swift progress. It is looking increasingly likely that the deal will be done in the coming days. Porto remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Sl Benfica continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. So far this season, Porto are steady at both ends (2.06 goals scored per game, 0.22 goals conceded per game). The role for Seko Fofana would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Rennes have also been linked with Sebastian Szymanski while Porto are reportedly monitoring James John McAtee.
