According to a new report from Marca, Barcelona have offered Portuguese giants
Oporto
issued an ultimatum that they have until June 30 to finalize their response to the
Barcelona
B-team junior Mika
Faye (name)
The deal.
Both sides have been discussing the transfer of Faye for some time recently, but have failed to reach an agreement so far. Barcelona are looking to improve their finances by selling Faye at a high price, while Porto are in dire need of strengthening their backline and Faye has become one of their main targets.
However, Porto, who are also subject to the financial fairness policy, felt that the transfer fee of €15 million offered by Barcelona was too high. In addition, the deal involves the purchase of part-ownership and Barcelona have asked for a buy-back clause to be added.
Barcelona are ready to sell Faye and insist that they will not lower their asking price, but only if the deal is completed by June 30th. That date is also the deadline for the club to complete its financial close for the current fiscal year, and the management is hoping to release some positive financial figures.
As a result, Barcelona issued an ultimatum to Porto, stressing the need to finalize the deal for Faye by a specified date in order to successfully complete the transfer and meet the financial requirements.
