It’s a transfer that surprised more than one. This summer, Seko Fofana left Racing Club de Lens to join the Al-Nassr club in Saudi Arabia. The former captain of Sang et Or has signed up for the next two seasons with the Saudi team.
A surprising arrival in Saudi Arabia as the player could have continued the Lensoise adventure or joined a bigger European club. The midfielder feels he is at peace with his choice. Nevertheless, during an interview granted to the newspaper theTeam the 28-year-old has made a big announcement about his future.
If he joined Saudi Arabia, he does not at all close the door to a return to Europe and this in a club which plays in the Champions League. “In two, three, four years, I will still have the level to play in the Champions League. I am very demanding with myself. People may think I’m going to regress or not progress here, but not at all. I’m not pre-retired.” did he declare.
The Ivorian also spoke about his partners, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané whom he loves to rub shoulders with. ” Cristiano? He is very endearing, simple. In the evening, we talk about everything, nutrition, business, life in general. You find yourself chatting with Cristiano, it’s funny. We are surprised to see how much a player with his career is in the exchange, listening. And you quickly understand, seeing him work, why at 38 he is still so strong. It’s crazy to be so demanding with five Ballons d’Or. When he doesn’t go to the gym, he doesn’t feel well. Mané is an example too. He has a big heart and is ambitious. »
This Monday, the Al-Nassr club without Seko Fofana and Cristiano Ronaldo lost 2-1 to Al-Ettifaq, the team led by Steven Gerrard and in which the former Liverpool captain plays. Jordan Henderson.
