Manchester United are sending Antony to Real Betis for the rest of the season, and it turns out they could now sign someone from the other side of the El Gran Derbi rivalry, having added Lucien Agoume’s name to their list of options in midfield.
According to exclusive information from CAUGHINGOFFSIDE, the Premier League giants are interested in Agoume, who joined Sevilla last January on an initial loan deal from Inter Milan, before that became permanent in the summer for a fee in the region of 8 million euros.
Agoume has been a regular starter for Francisco Javier García Pimienta’s Sevilla side, who have been in very good form in recent weeks. He has developed a strong midfield partnership alongside the likes of Albert Sambi Lokonga, Saul Niguez and Djibril Sow.
Agoume has appeared on Man United’s radar in recent weeks, although any deal being sought will only happen in the summer with neither club willing to enter into negotiations during the ongoing winter transfer window. .
Sevilla have agoume under contract until 2028, so there is no pressure to sell unless an acceptable offer arrives. This is bad news for Man United, and this could especially be the case should Loic Bade and/or Dodi Lukebakio leave Ramon Sánchez-Pizjuan in the summer, as both have been linked with moves in recent times. weeks.
There is a general feeling that Bade and Lukebakio will not leave Sevilla this month, but moves for both will surely be made in the summer. Nervous nerves won’t make it too difficult for deals to come together given his well-documented financial problems, and although this would also be the case for Agoume, there would be less pressure to sell if a large sum of money had already been agreed. .
