Mikayil Faye, the 22-year-old Senegalese defender signed by 1. FC Nuremberg on a loan deal until 2027, arrived at the club's training camp in South Tyrol on July 23, 2026, after extensive travel. The €10 million man (transferred from Barcelona to Rennes for €10.3 million in 2024) began his preseason preparation with basic endurance training on a spinning bike, as he arrived with inadequate fitness and match practice (only two starts for loan club US Cremonese). Sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou emphasized the club will give Faye time and patience, noting the team has capable players in his position. Head coach Miroslav Klose expressed confidence in the fitness staff and his gut feeling that Faye will succeed. The club appears to have limited financial risk with the loan deal.
