Ivorian goalkeeper Issa Fofana appears to be going through a difficult spell at Azam FC, a situation that has sparked speculation that he could leave the club at the end of the season.
According to recent reports, Fofana is considering a return to his former employers, Al Hilal Omdurman, after struggling to secure a regular place in the starting lineup.
Fofana was signed by Azam FC with expectations of becoming the first-choice goalkeeper, but things have not gone as planned due to increased competition within the squad.
Goalkeeper Aishi Manula has returned to top form, recording impressive statistics of seven clean sheets in eight matches, strengthening his position in the team.
Meanwhile, young goalkeeper Zuber Foba has also continued to impress, further increasing competition for the goalkeeping spot.
According to sources close to the player, Al Hilal Omdurman are closely monitoring Fofana’s situation and could move to re-sign him if Azam FC decide to release him in the next transfer window.
Fofana previously performed well in Sudan while at Al Hilal, under coach Florent Ibenge, who had recommended his move to Azam FC. However, he has since faced stiff competition from local goalkeepers.
There has been no official statement from Azam FC regarding the goalkeeper’s future, but indications suggest he could be allowed to seek a new challenge in the upcoming transfer window.
