Sporting raise the stakes to seal Souleymane Faye signing | OneFootball

Sporting prepares to raise the stakes for Souleymane Faye. After an initial offer of 5.5 million euros for the Senegalese winger, the club's management has made a counteroffer to Granada that improves the initial conditions and brings both parties closer to an agreement.

According to the newspaper Record, the green and whites are making an effort to try to close the deal by the end of the week, but the second division Spanish club is asking for 10 million euros for the 22-year-old player, which is seen as unaffordable for Frederico Varandas' management.

Nevertheless, the same source reveals that Sporting has been intensifying talks since last Saturday and believes the deal can be concluded quickly, but always with values below the 10M requested by Granada for Faye.

One of the details that might facilitate the signing of the Senegalese player is indeed the salary. According to recent information, Sporting is willing to triple the amount currently earned by Souleymane Faye in Spain, and he himself has shown motivation for this change.

This season, Souleymane Faye — valued at 1.5 million euros — has already played 20 official matches for Granada: 18 in the Spanish second division and two in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,574 minutes he has been on the field, the player recorded two goals and six assists.
