As per a separate report, relayed by Vamos Mi Sevilla FC, Sevilla are prepared to promote the dynamic midfielder, who moved to Spain from Inter Milan in 2024. Nevertheless, the La Liga outfit won’t promote Agoume for lower than €30m.
Agoume may very well be splendid for Man United
Agoume is thought for his ball-winning and long-pass capacity.
