The defending German champion, Bayer Leverkusen, positioned himself for a Senegalese international, informs the specialist Mercato Fabrizio Romano.
Currently second in the championship Germany with 4 points behind the Bayern Munichassured to compete at least the dams for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and next opponent of Cologne for a place in the semi-finals of the Cup, the Bayer Leverkusen is still in the race for a historic hat-trick at the end of the fiscal year.
This does not prevent the red and black club from trying to strengthen. In central defense in particular. Three profiles were targeted. And among them, that of the international Senegalese Mikayil Faye, 20, only once caped with the Lions (1 goal), but more called since May 2024. This is what journalist Fabrizio Romano reveals.

According to the latter, the Werkself contacted the entourage of the Rennais (10 appearances in mid-season). Coach Xabi Alonso appreciates the left -hander capable of also evolving on the left side, although the coach has more experienced options on his shortlist. But still according to Romano, it all depends on the position of Rennes.
-Detected in Diambars (Senegal) and then successively passed through the NK Kustosija in Croatia and Barça, where he never had his chance in the first team, Mika Faye landed last summer in Brittany against a check for 10.3 million euros until 2028.
Hold in the Breton negative spiral (14th in Ligue 1 after 18 days, tied with the barragist for maintenance, Saint-Etienne), the concerned remains on three matches spent on the bench. What perhaps give him desires elsewhere.
