Conference League finalists keen on Sporting flop | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye is on his way out of Sporting, just a few months after arriving at Alvalade, as he is not part of Rui Borges’ plans for the 2026/27 season. In this context, four clubs are already keeping an eye on his situation: Mallorca, Rayo Vallecano (runners-up in the Conference League), Elche and Lorient.

According to Matteo Moretto. The clubs from the neighboring country are keeping a close watch on the market and could make a move if his departure is confirmed.

Lorient have also reportedly shown interest in signing the player on loan, studying the possibility of moving forward with a proposal for the new season. The French club is looking to strengthen its squad and sees the Senegalese player as a possible attacking option.

Faye joined Sporting from Granada for around €6.5 million, with an additional fee for the Spanish club also included in the event of a future transfer. Despite the investment made, the player could now return to the market, with several interested parties in Spain and France.

While at Sporting, Souleymane Faye — valued at €3 million — made nine official appearances: five in the 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.
