The 20-year-old left-hander who came close to signing with Olympique de Marseille a few years ago now, will leave FC Barcelona for a sum of around 12 million euros. The Catalan club will however retain a buyout option for the Lion of Teranga. After validating his medical, Faye will therefore sign with Stade Rennais until 2028, with an additional year as an option.
