Souleymane Faye still hasn't signed for Sporting, posts on social media | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye has resurfaced on social media while awaiting authorization to travel to Lisbon, where he will undergo medical exams before signing a contract with Sporting until 2030. This step is expected to happen in the next few hours, and the official announcement could happen at any moment.

On Instagram, the 22-year-old Senegalese winger shared a black-and-white photo, during a moment of waiting 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.

Competitively, the player has not been on the field since the 3rd, 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, confidence in the outcome of the process is not in question. General director Bernardo Palmeiro stated that it is a “matter of time”, while Rui Borges took a more cautious approach after the victory over Casa Pia, saying: “I only believe it when it’s signed.”

This season, wearing Granada's jersey, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 games: 19 in the second division 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.
