According to Mundo Deportivo.
Oporto
Interested in signing Barcelona 19-year-old
Faye (name)
.. Faye's agent, Juanma Lopez, has been in contact with the
Barcelona
Sporting director Deco met to discuss the player's transfer. However, despite the club's need for funds, Barcelona are currently unwilling to give up on the promising player.
Porto are willing to pay €15 million for Faye, while Barcelona only paid €2 million for the Senegalese international last summer. Despite this offer being attractive to Barca, the club are in no hurry to agree to the deal. Barca are prioritizing having Furyk evaluate Faye during pre-season before deciding what to do with his future.
Currently, Barcelona are faced with a dilemma: either keep a center back who has the potential and has become a Senegalese international to play in the league with Barcelona Athletic, or accept Porto's offer, but if they sell him, Barcelona would like to include a buy-back clause, which Porto is not considering at the moment.
Apart from Porto, Barcelona are aware that another team interested in Faye could make a higher offer. As a result, Faye's future remains uncertain. If he ends up staying at Barcelona, he will be part of the first team and improve his contract.
