FC Barcelona is aware that Mika Faye is a really interesting asset to generate profits, so it would not be surprising if they consider putting him on the market. However, they would only do so if an offer came in that was attractive enough to let him go
The FC Barcelona confronts this summer to the need to take important decisions in relation with his defensive line. Why? Because of the imminent 'overbooking' of defenders in the staff of face to the next season, with a total of eight active in this demarcation: Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen, Pau Cubarsí, Eric García, Clément Lenglet, Iñigo Martínez and Mika Faye.
In front of this situation, is not surprising that the club was considering the option to make an or two sales in this area of the terrain of game. In this context, one of the defenders that seems to stand out like a candidate for a possible sale is the 'escudero' Senegalese, Mika Faye, whose physical imponente and fan of technical tools suggest that, if it reaches his potential maximum, could turn into one of the best in his position.
In this line argumental, the website 'The Athletic' backs this idea, aseverando that the FC Barcelona still has in his plans leave go out to the defender this summer. This information contrasts with what has spread in other sources, that indicated that the Senegalese had impressed to Hansi Flick during what goes of pre-season 2024/25, showing as a versatile option also to reinforce the left side.
The stages that could meditar the FC Barcelona around the 'case Mika Faye'
No only this, in spite of the excedente of 'escuderos' mentioned previously, the injury of Ronald Araújo could modify the plans in this zone of the field. Mika Faye Could be considered like a fourth head office in the staff while the Uruguayan was not available and have not incorporated to a new right side. While this situation remain, Jules Koundé would have to play by the right-handed band, whereas Pau Cubarsí and Andreas Christensen would occupy the axis of the defence, leaving to Eric García and to Iñigo Martínez like options in the bench, although his futures in the club are not of all clear.
However, the combined Barcelona also could contemplate the option to leave leave to a player whereby in his moment invested a near quantity to the 1,3 M€ and that now could be transferred by around 15 M€. In this case, they could look for an agreement that include conditions like a percentage by a future sale to follow obtaining profits, or a clause of repurchase that allow them recover it in case that the one of Sédhiou finally finish 'exploding'.
In definite, remains for seeing how develops the future of Mika Faye in the club, a situation that at present is not clear. What seems sure is that it is little likely that continue in the First RFEF (Third Division) with the Barça Atlètic by another season. His options are to rise to the first team or follow his career in a team of First Division.
