Monaco has taken the initiative and has started conversations with Barcelona for young Senegalese defender Mikayil Faye. According to journalist Santi Aouna, the Principality club is looking to strengthen its defense with Faye, who has not been guaranteed the playing time he demands for his continuity at Camp Nou. In addition to Monaco, other clubs like Nice and Porto have also shown interest in the center-back.
Barcelona's transfer market situation continues without major movements. So far, only four operations have been finalized: the departures of Marc Guiu, Oriol Romeu, and Sergiño Dest, and the arrival of Pau Víctor. Despite Nico Williams' initial refusal and the wait for Dani Olmo's signature, Faye's name has emerged as a potential change of scenery. Monaco, Barcelona's rival in the upcoming Joan Gamper Trophy, seems determined to take advantage of Faye's situation in the Catalan team.
Mikayil Faye, on AS Monaco's Radar
Journalist Santi Aouna has indicated that Monaco has already taken the first steps to secure the services of the African defender. The abundance of center-backs at Barcelona, with eight players for that position, is causing concern at the Catalan club. This surplus of defenders makes it likely that some players will need to leave before the market closes. Among the most prominent candidates to leave the club are Mikayil Faye and Clément Lenglet.
Faye, who joined Barcelona last season from Kustosija de Zagreb for 1.5 million euros, has not had a prominent role in the team's recent American tour. With his future uncertain, Monaco's option could offer him the opportunity he seeks to prove his worth in a new league.
