Rui Borges has no place for winger at Sporting, Spain offers way out | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye looks increasingly unlikely to remain at Sporting next season. Signed from Granada in the winter transfer window for €6.5 million, the Senegalese winger failed to convince Rui Borges, and the Lions’ hierarchy is already working on a solution for the player’s future.

They are looking for a destination for the 23-year-old footballer, with the strongest possibility at the moment being a return to Spanish football.

The same source says the solution is likely to be a loan move. At Alvalade, they believe the player’s age and the need for regular playing time could allow him to increase his value in the future, whether to return to Sporting with a different status or to pave the way for a permanent transfer.

Despite arriving at Alvalade with high expectations, Faye had few opportunities to prove himself. Throughout the second half of the season, he featured in just nine matches for Sporting’s first team, totaling 161 minutes played and one assist.

Playing for Granada in the first half of last season, Souleymane Faye took part in 21 matches, recording two goals and six assists. A return that keeps the player’s market value at an attractive level among several clubs in Spain’s second division.
