Souleymane Faye yet to sign for Sporting, posts on social media | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye has once again made an appearance on social media while he awaits authorization to travel to Lisbon, where he will undergo medical exams before signing a contract with Sporting until 2030. This step is expected to take place in the coming hours, and the official announcement could happen at any moment.

On Instagram, the 22-year-old Senegalese winger shared a black and white photo, as he waits for the agreement between both clubs to be finalized. The transfer is expected to be closed for 6.5 million euros, with the Spanish club also securing 10% of a future sale.

In competitive terms, the player has not played since the 3rd of this month, when he started in Granada's 3-2 defeat against Almería. Since Sporting made a concrete move for his signing, Faye has not been called up by coach Pacheta and has been training separately to maintain his physical condition.

On Sporting’s side, there is no doubt about the outcome of the process. General director Bernardo Palmeiro admitted that it is a “matter of time”, while Rui Borges took a more cautious approach after the victory over Casa Pia, stating: “I’ll only believe it when it’s signed.”

This season, wearing Granada’s shirt, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 matches: 19 in the second division and two in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,649 minutes he was on the pitch, the forward, who had a contract until 2029, scored two goals and provided six assists.
