All that's left for Souleymane Faye to sign for Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting is getting closer and closer to finalizing the signing of Souleymane Faye from Granada. At this moment, only 2 million euros separate the Senegalese winger from joining Rui Borges’ squad in this transfer window.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the Spanish second division club is now willing to sell the player’s rights for 6 million euros fixed plus 3 million in bonuses. Sporting, on the other hand, is proposing a 5M+2M formula, meaning there is a difference of 1M fixed and 1M in variables.

It’s worth remembering that Granada initially asked for 10M to release Faye, a figure considered unaffordable by Sporting’s management, which had already submitted an initial offer of 5.5 million euros. Now, both parties are expected to meet somewhere near the middle ground.

The same source also reveals that, in the new proposal, the green and whites were aiming for a bonus amount of 2M, meaning the player could eventually cost Sporting 7M. However, the Andalusians believe that the total of 9M (6M+3M) is fairer.

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 spent on the pitch, the player has recorded two goals and six assists.
