Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Datro Fofana is reportedly set to join AEK Athens on a season-long loan. The move on his official X account on September 11, 2024. The loan deal includes an option for AEK Athens to purchase Fofana for approximately £20 million, contingent on the club’s decision.
