FC Barcelona carefully follows the situation of Mikayil Faye (21 years old), former player of his reserve team, now on loan to CREMONE in Serie A according to AS. The young Senegalese defender, who arrived in Italy in the form of a loan from Rennes, sees his evolution scrutinized by the Catalan club, which holds a capital gain of 30 % on a potential resale as well as a buyout option. Barça hoped to take advantage of his departure with additional income, but the irregular performances of Faye last season have slowed down these ambitions. In Rennes, after a promising first half of the season under Jorge Sampaoli, he hardly played after the coach’s dismissal and the arrival of Habib Beye, who preferred other players to him, leaving him only three appearances in 2025.
Cremonese, freshly promoted to Serie A, represents for Mika Faye a chance to relaunch her career in the first division. The Italian promoted began his season with two victories in as many games, and the Senegalese should have a more important role than that he occupied in Rennes, evolving alongside Jamie Vardy. For Barça, the situation is delicate: the club needs that Faye is progressing to enhance its added value, while hoping that Cremonese does not activate the purchase clause of 10 million euros, which would allow the Catalan club to maintain control over the future resale and its financial interests.
