Guinea left winger François Kamano of FK Sochi is being linked with a move to Russian Premier Liga rivals Rostov, with the 30-year-old potentially available as a free agent amid uncertainty over his contract situation.
The former Bordeaux forward, valued at €1.20m on Transfermarkt, is reported to be on Rostov’s radar as they look to add experience and versatility in wide attacking areas. The rumour, logged on 16 June 2026, lists the probability of a deal as “?”, underlining that talks are at a speculative stage.
Kamano’s current deal at FK Sochi is not listed with an expiry date, fuelling suggestions he could be out of contract and available on a free transfer if no extension is agreed. That status would make him an attractive low‑risk option for Rostov, who would be able to acquire a player with top-flight pedigree without paying a transfer fee.
Born in Conakry on 2 May 1996, Kamano stands at 1.75m and operates primarily as an attacking left winger, cutting inside from the flank on his preferred right foot. Now wearing the No 45 shirt at Sochi, he has built a career across European leagues before arriving in Russia, and has long been regarded as one of Guinea’s more technically gifted wide players.
Recent appearances for Sochi in the Russian Premier Liga have kept him in the shop window, though detailed public statistics on his latest outings – including opposition, dates and scorelines – remain limited. What is clear is that he continues to feature in advanced roles, maintaining the blend of dribbling and direct running that first brought him attention.
With no official bid disclosed and no contract details confirmed, the move remains in the realm of rumour, but a switch to Rostov could offer Kamano a fresh platform in Russia’s top tier and a final chance to reshape the trajectory of his career if the transfer comes to fruition.
