Souleymane Faye missed Sporting v Casa Pia, but his Alvalade arrival is set | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye is about to join Sporting, but as of last Friday, January 16, he had not yet arrived in Lisbon, so he could not watch from the stands at Estádio José Alvalade as his new team played against Casa Pia (winning 3-0).

Both the green and white club and Granada have reportedly reached a full agreement, as have the Lions with the player, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the 22-year-old footballer is expected to be officially presented as a Sporting signing this weekend.

The Alvalade Club will pay around 6.5 million euros for the player's transfer, with the Andalusian club retaining 10% of any future capital gains. The athlete will have a contract waiting for him until 2030, with a release clause set at 80 million euros.

"I know Bernardo Palmeiro said it was imminent, but I only speak when he is officially a Sporting player," the coach stated.

This season, wearing Granada's jersey, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 games: 19 in the Segunda División and two in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,649 minutes he was on the field, the forward, who had a contract until 2029, scored two goals and made six assists.
