RC Lens is in negotiations with Al-Nassr regarding Seko Fofana. In the event of departure from the northern club, the Ivorian would leave a great void and a lot of disappointment behind him.
For a few months now, Saudi Arabia has taken it into its head to recover players playing in Europe. And if the first comers had the profile of players at the end of their career, this is no longer the case today. Among the players targeted by the Gulf country: Seko Fofana. The captain of RC Lens is coming off an impressive season which saw his club qualify for the next Champions League. A departure for Saudi Arabia at only 28 years old would be seen as a huge disappointment for many fans and observers of RC Lens. Walid Acherchour will not say the opposite, he who has not understood Fofana’s attitude for some time now.

On the antennaRMCthe consultant could not hide his disappointment on the subject: “I’m starting to be very disappointed with Seko Fofana. He is a player that I loved. He explained that his coming was the choice of the heart. He wanted to be in this club and be a leader. It’s not common in football for guys to refuse Atalanta and Milan after his move to Udinese. But afterwards… I was already saddened by his attitude with Côte d’Ivoire, and there, if you add to me the fact that he left for Saudi Arabia at 28 with everything he did with Lens. It’s a disappointment. We want to see him play in the Champions League but go to Saudi Arabia and leave his captaincy like that … ”, said Walid Acherchour in particular, who would find this transfer harmful for RC Lens but also for the Ivorian player. It remains to be seen now if all the parties will find their account there to complete the transfer, which has not yet been done. In the operation, Lens wants to recover 40 million euros.
