French league's 10th-placed side in talks for Sporting loan deal | OneFootball

Sporting are close to finding a solution for Souleymane Faye, a player who is not part of the plans for next season. Lorient, who finished 10th in the French league, are in talks with the Lions to secure the winger on loan.

The player was unable to establish himself in Sporting’s first team during the second half of the season and is not in Rui Borges’ plans.

Despite his limited impact since arriving at Alvalade, the Club still believes in the player’s potential, and he remains under contract until 2030. In that sense, a loan move appears to be the most suitable alternative to allow the player to get minutes.

The departure is also linked to the strong competition within Sporting’s squad. In addition, the Lions remain attentive to the transfer market and are looking to strengthen the left side of the attack, a position where they want to add new options for next season.

In service of Sporting, Souleymane Faye — valued at €3 million — made nine official appearances: five in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League and two in the Portuguese Cup. In the 161 minutes he was on the pitch, the player recorded one assist.
