FC Barcelona has been struggling in recent years. With finances still in the red, the Catalan club is struggling to really strengthen itself on the transfer market. But he can count on La Masia to produce exceptional players each time. And for several years now, Barça has been lucky. After pulling Pedri then Gavi out of their hat, the Blaugranas pulled sensation Pau Cubarsí out of nowhere. The young central defender of Barça B has become in a few months an indisputable player in the Catalan defense and was even called up to A with Spain.
Precisely, in this position, another player hopes to experience the same thing. This is Mikayil Faye. The Senegalese central defender, who formed the defensive duo with Cubarsi under the orders of Rafa Marquez with the reserve, is gaining strength. After experiencing the professional level on the Croatian side, he decided to join Barça, initially with the reserve. And it didn’t take long before he crushed everything in Primera Federación. He even had his first selection (and start) with Senegal against Ghana last month which he celebrated with a sublime goal. Something to talk about.
A meeting took place with Deco
Since the start of the season, Xavi has closely followed his development and has not hesitated to call him up several times to the professional group. But for the moment, he has not yet had the chance to start with the A jersey of Barça. A few weeks ago, we revealed to you that he was highly sought after and that he now wanted to have professional playing time. If the young 19-year-old defender had the ambition to stay at Barça, his management by the Barcelona management could leave room for doubts while a check for 20 million could be enough to enlist him.
But now, his situation has not changed since then and FC Barcelona is faced with a puzzle that will quickly have to be resolved, especially in this sector of play when it is announced that Ronald Araujo could leave this summer . According to our information, Mikayil Faye would like to have his chance while those around him do not understand the management of Barça. A meeting took place a few days ago between the player’s entourage and Deco, Catalan sports director, to discuss this subject. Another point will be made in the coming weeks to clearly discuss the future of the player and Barça’s plan with him. Because at the same time other clubs are growing and its potential, considered very interesting, could pass through the fingers of FC Barcelona.
