Croatian football agent Andy Bara has turned the second-division club Kustošija into a serious football talent hub, and his most valuable product is on the verge of a major transfer to RennesThe young center-back Mikayil Faye (20), after spending a year at Barcelona — more precisely, in their B team — is now switching clubs as he has attracted the attention of several teams. PSV Eindhoven and Porto were seriously interested in the Senegalese player, but in the end, the French club won the race.##NAJAVA_MECA_8284383##However, Barcelona aren’t entirely letting go of this talented defender, as they’ve included a buy-back clause in the contract. This means that at any time, as long as Faye’s contract with Rennes is in effect, they can bring him back for €35 million.As for the financial gain from the upcoming transfer, it’s certainly not insignificant. Barcelona will receive a full €12 million (they paid only €1.5 million to Kustošija for his signing), and there’s also a projected 25% from his next sale.🚨🔴⚫️ Rennes agree deal to sign Mika Faye from Barça, here we go!After official bid submitted last week as revealed, deal done with medical to follow on Friday.€12m fixed fee, 25% sell-on clause AND key detail: buy back clause for Barça over €35m.Faye travels tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/alr2urFd5i— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 22, 2024 In Barcelona’s current situation, every euro earned and every bit of space freed up in the salary budget is crucial, as it allows them to register Dani Olmo as soon as possible, and later to pursue another top-notch winger.❗️There is optimism that Barça can register Dani Olmo following Mika Faye’s departure, with Olmo possibly even playing against Athletic Club. Interestingly, both players share the same agent.— @mundodeportivo pic.twitter.com/LWrzFWaMJK— Barça Universal (@BarcaUniversal) August 22, 2024
