The 19-year-old from Senegal is playing for Barça Atlètic, the Catalans’ B team. Although he has yet to make his senior debut, Calciomercato reports that the Old Lady scouts have been impressed by the versatile defender.

Faye is under contract with Barcelona until June 2027, but according to Calciomercato, Juventus could try to sign him over the summer, especially if Gleison Bremer leaves.

It is unlikely that the 19-year-old will replace the Brazilian in the short-term, but Juventus have been developing several talents in their NextGen squad, playing in Italy’s third division.

Several players have come through Juventus’ second team over the last few years, including Matias Soulé, Nicolò Fagioli, Radu Dragusin and Enzo Barrenechea.
