Final offensive by Rennes to secure the signing of Mika Faye

Mika Faye has surprised Hansi Flick this pre-season. The good performance shown by the footballer, added to the injury of Ronald Araújo, who will be out for several months, make the technical staff consider the possibility of keeping the player in the first team. The German coach believes that Faye could fit perfectly into his scheme and is reluctant to let him go.

However, his sale seems to be getting closer, the club needs to sell and the Senegalese is a clear option. The tour of the United States has served to show the qualities of the footballer and the offers have not been long in coming. FC Barcelona is aware that Mika Faye is a really interesting asset to generate profits, so it seems inevitable to put him on the market when an offer is sufficiently attractive.

Mika Faye's future could be decided in the next few days

After the failed operation with Porto, the Catalan team received an offer from Rennes, but it was rejected for not reaching the expected figures. Faced with the refusal, the French team warned that Mika Faye was an important target and that they would try again in the summer.

In the last few hours, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Rennes has already presented FC Barcelona with a second offer for the player. According to the information, the new proposal is for 10 million euros fixed plus a clause with which the culé team would maintain a percentage of 20/25% of a possible transfer. The increase with respect to the first offer is significant, since it was only 7 million euros.

Hansi Flick's insistence on keeping the centre-back in the squad has caused Barça to only accept a maximum agreement. The Catalan club wants the offer to include a buy-back clause to ensure control of the player. Negotiations are underway and, although there is still no agreement, Rennes' interest in the player and Monaco's arrival on the scene could speed up the negotiations.
