On August 25, FC Barcelona officially announced that the 20-year-old defender, Faye, has transferred to Ligue 1 team Rennes for a transfer fee of €10.3 million.
FC Barcelona stated that they have reached an agreement with Rennes regarding Faye’s transfer, who will join Rennes for a transfer fee of €10.3 million. At the same time, Barca retains a buy-back clause of €25 million and a 30% share of any future secondary transfer fees.
The 20-year-old Faye is from Senegal and is a left-footed central defender, standing at 186cm tall, who can also play as a left-back. Last season, he made 35 appearances for Barca B, scoring 4 goals, but has yet to make his debut for the Barca first team.
According to previous reports, Faye’s departure will further ease Barcelona’s financial situation, making it more likely that they will be able to register their new signing, Olmo.
