Mikayil Faye underwent a medical at the Sporting City, which is the last step before he is officially a new Barcelona player.\u00a0His agents, including former Atletico Madrid player Juanma L\u00f3pez, met this morning with Mateu Alemany to close the player’s transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FC Barcelona has been following the Senegalese player for a long time, who has distinguished physical strength and can play as a center back or full back.\u00a0He arrived from Kostusica, a team in the Croatian second division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the age of 18, he caught the eye of clubs like Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund, who were also on his way but Barcelona were ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
