Barcelona youngster Mikayil Faye is consxidering an exit from the club just a year after joining the Catalan giants. Faye, 19, was signed for €1.5m from NK Kustosija in Croatia’s second division last summer, is keen for opportunities at the top level.

Faye has been a standout for Rafael Marquez at Barca Atletic, but unlike Pau Cubarsi, never got his chance in the first team under Xavi Hernandez. Faye is frustrated with his lack of opportunities, having debuted for Senegal, and does not understand why he hasn’t had any minutes in the first team – reportedly an area of frustration with Xavi from the Barcelona board in the final weeks of the season.

João Félix is very clear. He only wants Barça. This is also what he has transmitted to Atlético Madrid. The sports management and Hansi Flick agree that the Portuguese should continue. @sport

New manager Hansi Flick has arrived, but Barcelona may be open to selling Faye for the right offer, even if the plan is for him to be involved in the preseason this summer. Arsenal are the most interested in Faye, with Manchester United, Inter and Bayern Munich also looking at him. The Azulgrana also rejected an offer for Faye of around €9m from RC Lens in January.
