The 31-year-old player landed at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport this Wednesday morning and is expected to undergo medical examinations before signing a contract valid for the current season, extending until June 2027.

The agreement between the parties was sealed on Monday, and the loan will be a pure one, with no transfer fee. FC Porto will be responsible for paying the player's salary, though significantly less than his earnings at Rennes, which were around 6 million euros gross — the midfielder is foregoing a portion of the amount he would have been entitled to had he remained in France.

The SAD (FC Porto's corporate entity) reached an understanding with the Ivorian midfielder, who from the outset expressed a strong desire to return to a club where he previously thrived, having been a crucial player in the second half of the season.
