Sadio Mané’s compatriot heading to Lisbon to sign for Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting is about to strengthen its attack with the arrival of Souleymane Faye, a 22-year-old Senegalese winger, who has already received authorization to travel to Lisbon and sign a contract with the Lions until 2030. After a few days of delay due to bureaucratic details, the transfer of Sadio Mané’s compatriot should be formalized soon.

The agreement with Granada is set at 6.5 million euros, with the Spanish club retaining the right to 10% of any potential profit from a future sale. The player has already said goodbye to his club’s fans in recent days, preparing to join his new team as soon as he lands in Portugal.

The athlete shared images on social media indicating that he will travel to the Portuguese capital, confirming the expectations of everyone at Alvalade. The winger arrives with the mission of adding speed and quality to Sporting’s flanks, at a time when the team is dealing with several absences.

After Luís Guilherme was officially announced as the first signing of this winter transfer window, the Alvalade club is now preparing to secure the arrival of another player. Rui Borges thus receives another footballer for the push towards the third consecutive championship.

This season, wearing the Granada shirt, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 matches: 19 in the second division and two in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,649 minutes he was on the pitch, the forward, who had a contract until 2029, scored two goals and provided six assists.
