Barcelona Completes Transfer of Mikayil Faye

As the summer transfer window nears its close, FC Barcelona is actively pursuing last-minute signings, particularly aiming for a new left-winger, Federico Chiesa, and a central defender following several player departures. The club has been offered free agent Mario Hermoso, a versatile defender previously with Atletico Madrid, as an option to bolster their defense. Meanwhile, Girona FC has secured a transfer agreement with Barcelona for striker Pau Víctor, who returns after a loan spell. Additionally, Barcelona confirmed the departure of Mika Faye to Stade Rennais for €10.3 million, which includes a buyback clause and a sell-on fee. This follows the earlier announcement of Ilkay Gundogan's return to Manchester City. The club's ongoing financial challenges and squad depth issues drive these transfer decisions, as they seek to optimize their roster ahead of the new season.
