Manchester United ‘accelerating’ reportedly their efforts to sign Sevilla Midfender Lucien Agoume, according to the Spanish outlet Signings.
Ruben Amorim decided to start the season with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as the midfield that combined against Arsenal last weekend. Both players showed their passing range, but the Red Devils sometimes looked wide open in midfield.
Manuel Ugarte was introduced in the second half, to replace Casemiro, and he showed an under average performance, while Kobbie Mainoo remained an unused replacement.
The Brazilian became 33 and has lost his athletics, although he looks physically better compared to the last two seasons. That is why Man Utd has to sign an athletic midfielder to achieve their objectives at the end of this campaign.
Initially, Man tried to buy Utd Carlos Baleba, but Brighton does not intend to let him leave and wants one Similar fee That they received for Moisés Caicedo, who is around £ 115 million.
United does not want to spend that much for Baleba, because he has already splashed around £ 200 million in this transfer window. So they started exploring cheaper alternative options.
Agoume to man utd
Signings Suppose Man Utd wants to sign Agoume and ‘accelerate’ their efforts to close the deal. Three other Premier League clubs have also been set out, but Amorim’s side is ‘in front of the curve’ in this race.
The Frenchman has a release clause of £ 35 million in his current contract, but a deal can be concluded for around £ 21 million plus a sales clause. Sevilla has already started signing a new midfielder to replace the former Inter Milan star.
Agoume is 6ft 2 in long and is comfortable with possession. It is strong, good in the air, can play wire passes between the lines, has an eye for passing long distance and is efficient in defensive contributions.
The 23-year-old is a talented player and has the necessary attributes to flourish in the Premier League. That is why he can be a smart acquisition for people UTD to strengthen the team.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Old Trafford Club ultimately chooses to secure the service of the Sevilla star before the end of this transfer window.
