Souleymane Faye still to make his mark, but Sporting have fresh hope | OneFootball

Souleymane Faye is still waiting for the green light to travel to Lisbon. Nevertheless, Sporting expects the player to arrive at Alvalade in the next few hours, as both parties are satisfied with the direction the transfer negotiations are taking.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the process of signing the Senegalese winger should be finalized during this Tuesday, January 13. At the moment, the only issue delaying the deal concerns the payment installments.

According to the latest reports, Sporting has agreed to pay 6.5 million euros to secure the transfer of Souleymane Faye. In fact, in recent hours, Granada’s director, Miguel Melgar, confirmed the progress of the negotiations.

“I can’t say anything about the deal, as negotiations are advanced. I can say it seems like a very wise choice by Sporting’s management. They saw something that, in Spain, people are only now starting to notice,” emphasized the official from the Spanish second division club.

This season, wearing Granada’s shirt, 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 spent on the pitch, the forward, who was under contract until 2029, scored two goals and provided six assists.
