Will Barça sell him? The reason that could 'shoot' Mika Faye's market value

The FC Barcelona in this campaign 2023-24 has had a remarkable 'overbooking' of defenders in the first team. This stage has done extremely complicated that one of the names 'top' of the Barça Atlètic, the defender of 19 years of age, Mika Faye, have had the opportunity to debut in the first team under the orders of Xavi Hernández.

The Senegalese recently had his first experience to form part of an announcement in the maximum category with the combined Barcelona. In the last commitment of LaLiga against the RCD Mallorca (1-0), the one of Terrassa included it in the announcement of 22 players that were available to face the duel against the picture 'bermellón'.

This seemed to be a small prize for the exjugador of the NK Kustošija, the one who at present has turned into a key piece of the filial managed by Rafa Márquez. Up to now, it has contested 23 meetings and has marked three goals, establishing as one of the best defenders of the First RFEF and showing that his capacities are a stair above the category in which it plays.

Mika Faye, sale or opportunity in the first team?

These performances have called the attention of the FC Barcelona, that considers it like an option for the future. Besides, other clubs also have showed interest in purchasing his services, and seems that the Barça is considering this possibility, as long as it offer the correct price. As it informed 'SPORT', this sale could include an option of repurchase or, in the best of the cases, could opt by a loan without option of purchase.

All these stages are possible, since the Catalan cast has left clear in more than an occasion that would use to Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araújo like defenders titled. This also depends on what suceda with Iñigo Martínez, Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen, as well as of the return of Eric García and a possible repurchase of Chadi Riad. Given the little available space in the staff, the sale of the Senegalese would not be surprising, especially if it considers that his value of market is increasing constantly.

The reason by which Faye would have a 'subidón' in his value of market

In this sense, the value of market of the native of Sedhiou could be experiencing a new 'subidón', since it would be near to receive his first announcement with the absolute selection of Senegal. Although it was not included in the first announcement made by the trainer Aliou Cissé for the next international stop, one of the defenders that was in the list of 31 summoned for the friendly against Gabon (22 March) and Benin (26 March), the left side of the Fulham, Fode Ballo Touré, suffered an injury, what would open an opportunity so that the defender of the Barça Atlètic occupy his place.

With this, is likely that Mika Faye experience an increase in his value of market, which would be beneficial while it decides his future in the club culé. The FC Barcelona definitively will have to decide if it sells it in summer, considering that the Senegalese needs to give the jump to the First Division to continue his development, or if they bet for giving him continuity in the combined Barcelona, what could carry to the exit of one of the 'heavy weights' of the saga in the first team.
