Fofana had been frequently linked with a move away from RC Lens, but the destination appears surprising to football followers. The Ivorian international has received an offer from Al-Nassr and has reportedly reached a full agreement with the club. His transfer is pending an agreement between the Ligue1 side and the Saudi Pro League club. The French side demands a substantial fee of at least 40 million euros for their prized midfielder, as they hold his services until June 2027.
