Heads up, Sporting! Faye stays in Spain and spotted at Granada facilities | OneFootball

The transfer process of Souleymane Faye to Sporting experienced a new development this morning, with the player showing up at Granada's training center. Despite the advanced negotiations between the two clubs, the Senegalese winger continues his professional routine in Spain while the final bureaucratic details are being finalized. The 23-year-old athlete was seen entering the Andalusian club's facilities, dispelling rumors that he was already in Lisbon for medical exams.

The structure led by Frederico Varandas remains confident in concluding the deal, which is expected to involve amounts around 6.5 million euros. The delay in officialization is due to the payment method and the fact that the owners of the Andalusian club are Chinese and negotiate from China, whose time zone is quite different from Portugal's.

Rui Borges awaits with anticipation the arrival of this reinforcement, who promises to bring more speed and one-on-one imbalance capability to the green and white squad. The versatility of the Senegal international, who can play on both flanks, is one of the characteristics that most pleases the technical team for this second half of the season. The temporary stay of the athlete on Spanish soil is seen as a normal asset management procedure while the final contract is not signed.

According to the Spanish newspaper Ideal, the two clubs are already in the document exchange phase, which opens the prospect of the deal being definitively closed by this Thursday, and the athlete attending the match at Alvalade to watch the game against Casa Pia, from the 18th round of the National Championship.

This season, Souleymane Faye – valued at 1.5 million euros – played 21 games: 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.
