FC Porto is set to make a formal offer of approximately €15 million for Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye this week. A meeting between the two clubs has already been scheduled to discuss the terms of the transfer. Barcelona is keen on including a buy-back clause in the deal to maintain some level of control over the player’s future.
Barcelona’s insistence on a buy-back clause highlights their valuation of Faye’s potential and their desire to manage his career trajectory closely. The negotiations are expected to continue throughout the week as both clubs aim to finalize the terms.
Mikayil Faye, who has recently been called up to the Senegal national team, has been under the radar of several clubs, including Girona, whose scouts have been tracking the young defender’s progress at Barcelona. This interest from multiple clubs underscores Faye’s rising reputation in European football.
