Mikayil Faye

Reports from September 2026 state the purchase option for Nürnberg is in a 'realistic' range for the club. The player's market value was estimated at €4.5 million by Transfermarkt in July 2026, down from a €6 million valuation in August 2025. A loan to Cremonese in September 2025 reportedly included a €10 million purchase option. This followed his completed transfer from Barcelona to Rennes in August 2024 for a fee of €10.3 million. Previously, he moved from Kustošija to Barcelona II in July 2023 for €1.5 million. A €400 million release clause from his time at Barcelona was also mentioned but is no longer active.

Our valuation for Mikayil Faye is driven by his declining market value since his €10.3 million transfer to Rennes in August 2024. While a loan in 2025 included a reported €10 million purchase option, subsequent injury and fitness issues have seen his Transfermarkt value drop to €4.5 million. The current loan to 2. Bundesliga side Nürnberg includes a purchase option described only as 'realistic' for the club, suggesting a valuation significantly lower than previous figures, which informs our more conservative estimate.
