Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye has been one of the most talked about names in recent weeks as clubs weigh up their targets for the summer. The 19-year-old Senegalese defender has impressed for Barca Atletic during the season, arriving for just €1.5m from NK Kustosija in the Croatian second division, but with the Blaugrana in need of a swift entry, there is a hint that some of the best clubs in Europe could see an opportunity in him.
It was confirmed to Football España that both Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen sent scouts to watch Faye in recent weeks, having made her international debut as well. Amidst links with Chelsea, Girona, Borussia Dortmund and RC Lens, Fabrizio Romano has denied that there are talks with Arsenal, as he said. Caught offside.
“I am not aware of any negotiations or discussions with Arsenal at this stage. Several clubs are monitoring him, he is a great potential talent but first of all it is Barcelona who must decide what they want to do with Faye; keep him with the first team, sell him for money. Internal talks will continue in May, there are no negotiations with other clubs now.”
