Souleymane Faye

Reports from June 2026 state Sporting CP wants to be at least partially compensated for the fee they paid for the player in January. His market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt at €3 million, down from €4 million in April 2026. The most significant recent transaction was his January 2026 transfer from Granada to Sporting CP for a reported fee of around €6.5 million, with the deal potentially rising to €8 million. At the time, Granada's initial asking price was reportedly €10 million, while Sporting's initial offers were in the €5-5.5 million range. His Transfermarkt value then was €1.5 million. Prior to that, in July 2025, Granada acquired 50% of his rights from Real Betis II for a reported €600,000.

Our valuation for Souleymane Faye is driven by his recent transfer history and current situation at Sporting CP. Despite Sporting paying a reported €6.5 million for him in January 2026, his limited playing time has significantly decreased his market value, as reflected by his current Transfermarkt valuation of €3 million. Reports indicate Sporting is seeking a definitive sale to recoup at least part of their investment. Our estimate balances their need to sell against the player's reduced stock, while acknowledging the long-term contract to 2030.
