Deal terms change, Sporting to pay over €5m for Faye | OneFootball

Sporting has reached an agreement with Granada for the signing of Souleymane Faye, after the terms of the deal were revised in recent days. The Lions will, in the end, pay around 6.5 million euros as a fixed fee (and not 5), eliminating the performance-based component initially planned. The Spanish club will also retain 10% of any future profit from the sale of the Senegalese winger.

The 22-year-old player is expected in Lisbon in the coming hours to undergo medical exams and sign a contract with the Alvalade club, which will be valid for four and a half seasons. The athlete is thus preparing to strengthen the green and white attack in this transfer window.

The changes in the structure of the agreement explain the slight delay in the player's trip to Portugal, as the Lions and the Andalusians were fine-tuning the final financial details. The new payment structure ended up pleasing both parties and definitively unlocked the process.

The footballer will be protected by an 80 million euro release clause, a clear sign of the Lions' belief in his potential. After already securing Luís Guilherme, the club's management remains active in the market, looking to provide more attacking options for Rui Borges.

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 was on the pitch, the forward, who had a contract until 2029, scored two goals and provided six assists.
