Fofana, seemingly unfazed by Ronaldo’s assessment, has made the move to Ligue 1, having previously played for Lens.

The conversations with Arnaud Pouille and Frédéric Massara made the difference. The message was strong and the subsequent decision was very simple. We will see the possibility of being able to chain games and demonstrate that the start of the season was below the club’s potential. I hope we can reverse the trend very quickly,”
Rennes sporting director,Frédéric Massara,also commented on the acquisition: “He is a very good player who will help us a lot because he has demonstrated all his qualities from the beginning of his career. He has a lot of personality and a great mentality. He is a player who knows Ligue 1 well.”
