Lille have entered the race to sign Barcelona youngster

Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye is the subject of interest of several clubs this summer, with Lille officially joining the race to sign the Senegalese defender, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Last week it was reported that Stade Rennais has tabled a €10m bid for Faye that included a 20-25% sell-on fee, but Barcelona are holding out a a €15m transfer fee for the young defender. Lille have now made an official bid for Mikayil Faye and the defender will embark on a new adventure before the summer window shuts down.

The Catalan giants will only let the defender leave with a buy-back clause and sell-on percentage fee.
