The stay of Senegalese winger Souleymane Faye, 23, in the squad for the next season is not guaranteed and will depend on the technical evaluation until the end of the season. In this context, a loan is considered the most plausible solution. At Alvalade, it is understood that the forward, who joined the club in January 2026, needs to compete regularly to develop the potential that led to the investment. A loan, preferably in a demanding competitive context, could provide him with the opportunity to develop and return to Alvalade more prepared. Faye is under contract until 2030, has one cap for Senegal, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €4.00m.
