Transfer: Mamadou set to join Barcelona from MLS

La Liga club, FC Barcelona are on the cusp of signing the services of Senegalese defender Mamadou Fall from Major League Soccer (MLS) in the ongoing summer transfer window.

As reported by The Athletic, advanced negotiations are underway between the La Liga champions and the MLS side. Both parties are working diligently to finalize the agreement before the transfer window concludes on September 1, which falls on Friday.

The proposed deal for Fall encompasses a loan arrangement with an embedded option to purchase. The young talent had previously been loaned to Villarreal’s second team in La Liga during the past season.

There have been indications of interest from La Liga’s Villarreal for the 20-year-old Senegalese international as well.

Mamadou Fall is recognized as one of the standout prospects within Major League Soccer. His affiliation with LAFC commenced in the summer of 2021, with his current contract set to expire in December of this year.

Barcelona’s transfer endeavours also extend to Brazilian rising star Petterson Novaes, currently showcasing his skills with the Brazilian club Flamengo.

Since joining LAFC in 2021, Fall has amassed 42 appearances for the club. Presently, LAFC holds the second position in the MLS Eastern Conference with 40 points from 25 matches.

Barcelona, on the other hand, occupies the fourth spot on the La Liga standings, having accumulated seven points as of matchday three.
