Agoumé, the pleasant rising star who is emerging at Sevilla FC and attracting attention in the Premier League.

There's no doubt that Sevilla 's priority, before investing, is to secure new players and generate capital gains to create salary space. This doesn't mean that certain transactions, which are unavoidable due to the tight deadlines, must be addressed, and they will now require an effort from the club to seek profitability later on. This is the situation for Lucien Agoumé , a player who has gained value in the final stretch of LaLiga with Sevilla FC and is shining for France these days in the U21 European Championship showcase, where he started for France in the semi-final against Germany.
Cordón is preparing to receive offers this summer, barring unforeseen circumstances, for Lucien Agoumé, a player who was a strong bet by former sporting director Víctor Orta . Sevilla FC already paid Inter Milan €4 million for 50% of his rights and now has until July 31 to acquire another 40% of the player for a figure slightly less than €5 million. Inter would always retain the remaining 10% to consider future profits from the midfielder's transfers.
And Sevilla has seen it clearly. As of today, and despite the financial difficulties in meeting any kind of expense or signing, the Nervión club has decided to exercise that purchase right for another 40% of Agoumé, as reported by ElDesmarque. Sevilla FC has made its calculations and wants to secure 90% of the player's economic rights in the face of foreseeable offers that will reach Nervión exceeding the club's total investment.
At the Sánchez-Pizjuán , they see the added value for the Frenchman and have time, still more than a month away, to execute the option. This margin could allow for an earlier sale (Juanlu, Badé, Lukebakio, etc.) and give Sevilla FC the leeway to pay Inter the estimated 5 million euros.
Cordón and his team believe that 23-year-old Lucien Agoumé will continue to grow and gain value, generating capital gains well above the 9 million euros that Sevilla will have invested in total to acquire 90% of the Frenchman.
Due to his physical and playing characteristics, Agoumé's name is already on the list of possible targets for several Premier League teams, where the pivot seems to have a certainly attractive market. Clubs such as Tottenham, Manchester United, and Arsenal are reportedly interested in the French midfielder, with the intention of offering a fee starting at 17 million pounds, or around 20 million euros, according to several English and Spanish media outlets.
Arsenal are the latest club to appear on Agoumé's horizon. While Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi is expected to sign for the Gunners, Mikel Arteta's side also lost Jorginho this summer to Flamengo, meaning they will need another player in midfield if Thomas Partey leaves as it also seems likely. Agoumé would have become a target for the North Londoners at an affordable price for one of the stars of the France Under-21 team at the European Championship.
