Abdoulaye Faye Set to Leave Leverkusen on Loan for Second Time
Abdoulaye Faye is set to join Spanish LaLiga side Celta Vigo on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, with his medical scheduled for either Sunday or Monday.
The 21-year-old left-footed center-back spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Lorient and was signed by Die Werkself from Lorient last summer.
Faye has now trained with Leverkusen's first team and featured in their friendly games, and will leave the club for the second time, with the current deal also giving him experience in continental football.
Celta Vigo finished sixth in the 2025/26 LaLiga season and could face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League next season.
The loan deal does not have a buy option for the Spanish club, and it remains to be seen how Faye will adapt to the new environment.
Leverkusen's transfer business has been relatively quiet this summer, with this loan deal marking one of the first major moves of the season.
The move could be seen as an opportunity for Faye to gain more experience and potentially boost his chances of making a permanent move to a top-tier club.
However, the lack of a buy option for Celta Vigo means that Leverkusen will retain full control over the young center-back's future.
As the transfer window continues to unfold, fans will be watching closely to see how this loan deal pans out for both Faye and Leverkusen.
Faye will now face the challenge of adapting to a new team and competing in a different league, and it remains to be seen how he will perform.
With the medical scheduled for the coming days, it's clear that the transfer is almost complete, and fans can expect to see Faye in action for Celta Vigo soon.
