Without any unexpected twists, FC Barcelona are looking to make some sales. The Catalan club may be closing in on the 1:1 rule again, but the club will need to sell in order to buy. For this reason, Barcelona continue to look at different options to reinforce the team and also make sales.
However, Barcelona have already highlighted a destination for the player. Club director Deco has negotiated with Portuguese side Porto recently, and there exists a possibility that the Senegalese defender could be sold for €15 million to Porto in a deal that is likely to include a buy-back option.
While Faye values the opportunity to potentially play for Porto, and it is a destination that Barcelona believes is good for the development of young players, the 19-year-old defender wants a bigger jump. Thus, he will not rush to accept Porto’s offer and will instead wait until the end of June.
Only after the player has accomplished his desire to help out Barcelona Atletic would his future be looked into. At the moment, Porto’s offer is a strong one and remains on the table in a hypothetical sense, but it is the desire of the Senegalese prodigy to consider offers from elsewhere and from more desirable leagues.
