Mikayil Faye's future sealed!

Tracked by a European big name, the promising Senegalese international is now set on his immediate future.

Halfway through his first season at Stade Rennais (10 appearances for 7 starts, but not used for three matches), Mikayil Faye is pleased Germany. The entourage of the young international central defender Senegalese (20 years old, 1 cap, 1 goal) was contacted by Bayer Leverkusenthe last Bundesliga winner.

Bayer slows down for Faye

But, as the closure of the winter transfer window approaches, the Rouge et Noir club would have calmed its enthusiasm. At least that's what Florian Plettenberg, journalist from Sky Sports Germany. Indeed, if the former Barça resident remains appreciated by coach Xabi Alonso, the latter has decided to focus on a more experienced profile in the person of Mario Hermoso, 29 years old, 2021 Spanish champion with Atlético Madrid and now playing at AS Rome.

A departure next summer not excluded

Unless there is a turnaround, the native of Sedhiou should therefore remain in Ligue 1 this winter. On the other hand, a departure next summer cannot be ruled out, given the interest in VizeKusen combined with the reduction in his playing time in Brittany in recent weeks.

As a reminder, Mika Faye was left on the bench during his club's last three outings, all ending in defeats. He successively chomped at the bit on January 11 against Olympique de Marseille (1-2) in the championship, four days later against Troyes (1-0) in the Coupe de France and finally last weekend during the reception of Brest (1-2).

He only returned to the starting lineup this Saturday for the confrontation with AS Monaco counting for the 19th day of Ligue 1.
