Pacheta says Sporting signing not done yet | OneFootball

Pacheta was once again confronted with the transfer of Souleymane Faye to Sporting. This time, the Granada coach seemed more 'resigned' to the departure of the Senegalese winger, who was not included in the squad for the Spanish second division team's match against Castellón. However, the coach assured that the deal is not yet closed.

"I haven't been given any more news. Regarding Faye, I can only say that the operation is very advanced, but it is not yet finalized", Pacheta stated at the end of the match, in addition to sharing the same information about Hongla, a defender being negotiated with Aris.

"I don't have more data on this, but I'm afraid. We have good players who do things well, so I fear more starters might leave and we won't have time to react in the market", the coach also admitted in a press conference, after a goalless draw.

This season, wearing the Granada jersey, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 games: 19 in the Segunda División and two in the Copa del Rey. In the 1,649 minutes he was on the field, the forward, who had a contract until 2029, scored two goals and made six assists.
