Leonino exclusive confirmed, cost Sporting nearly €7m, bound for tier two | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye will leave Sporting during the summer transfer window, as he is not part of Rui Borges' plans for next season. Granada are interested in bringing the Senegalese winger back on a one-season loan deal.

The newspaper 'A Bola' reports this Monday, June 8, on the interest from the Spanish second-division side, thus confirming a story reported exclusively by our newspaper on May 10 (See HERE), which had already anticipated the winger’s future.

The player knows the Spanish club well, having stood out there before being signed by Sporting. His performances for Granada led the Lions to invest around €6.5 million in his signing, but his adaptation to Alvalade did not go as expected.

The possible move comes at a time when Granada are looking for attacking solutions after Pablo Sáenz's departure to Real Oviedo. During his previous spell at the Andalusian club, he played an important role in the team, making 21 appearances, scoring two goals and providing six assists.

For 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 spent on the pitch, the player recorded one assist.
