Souleymane Faye delay forces player to train... away from Sporting | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye is still waiting for full agreement between Sporting and Granada. While he has not yet received the green light to travel to Lisbon, the Senegalese winger is training at the facilities of the Spanish second division club, albeit at different times from the rest of the team.

This information is being reported by the newspaper Record, which reveals that the player even said goodbye to his Granada teammates last Saturday, January 10th, as he was expecting to head to Portugal that day, something that has not yet happened.

At this point, there are still some details to be settled regarding the payment structure, a situation that has delayed the 22-year-old player's move to Lisbon. One of the factors contributing to this waiting period is related to the ownership structure of the Spanish club, whose main investor is of Chinese origin.

The negotiations are being conducted from China by the executives of Wuhan DDMC Football Club Management Co., Ltd, the entity that controls Granada, and the time difference has forced Sporting to wait for responses with intervals that can exceed 12 hours, delaying the formal conclusion of the process.

The Senegalese winger represents an investment of 6.5 million euros, will sign a contract valid for four and a half seasons, until June 2030, and will be protected by a release clause set at 80 million euros. Granada will also retain the right to 10% of any future capital gain from a potential transfer of the player.
