Souleymane Faye set to join Sporting! Get the inside track on the deal | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye is indeed set to join Sporting. This information is reported by the newspaper Record, ensuring that the deal is completely finalized between the parties. The player is now preparing to travel to Lisbon, undergo the usual medical examinations, and immediately join the green and white squad.

According to the same source, the operation costs 6 million euros fixed, with an additional 2 million based on the achievement of sporting objectives. Granada also secures a percentage in a future sale. The investment by Sporting's management reflects a strong and decisive bet on this emerging talent from neighboring football.

The Senegalese star will sign a contract with the Alvalade club valid until 2030. The new agreement is protected by a hefty release clause, set at 80 million euros. This robust measure aims to safeguard the valuable asset against potential interest from European giants in the near future.

The athlete will thus be the first confirmed new face of the winter in the lion's kingdom. It remains to be seen whether the winger will be the only arrival or if there will be more names entering the winter transfer market in the team led by Rui Borges to tackle the decisive second half of the season.

This season, wearing the Granada jersey, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 matches: 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.
