Inter Milan midfielder Lucien Agoume is getting closer and closer to a move to Sevilla this summer.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They report that the deal should be worth around €3-5 million, plus a sell-on fee.
At the moment, Agoume remains an Inter player. He started in the centre of defense in Monday’s friendly win over Pergolettese.
The France Under-21 international joined the Nerazzurri in 2019.
Since arriving at Inter, Agoume has been out on loan with the likes of Spezia, Brest, and Troyes. It was at Brest during the 2021-22 season where he enjoyed his best form and greatest playing time.
Agoume spent the first half of the season just gone in the Inter first-team squad. However, he made just one appearance, a cameo off the bench against Salernitana.
Then over the second half of the campaign, Agoume joined Sevilla on loan.
Marseille had also been keen on the Frenchman’s signature during the January window. But the Spanish club won the race to sign him.
Having initially had little playing time due to injury, the 22-year-old became a regular in the starting eleven over the last few months of the season.
Now the question has become what comes next for Agoume.

Sevilla did not exercise their purchase option in the loan deal for Agoume.
The Andalusians could have made the 22-year-old’s loan move into a permanent deal for a fee of around €8 million.
However, they considered that fee too high.
That does not mean that Sevilla do not still consider Agoume to be a target, however. They were satisfied with the Frenchman’s performances over the second half of last season.
However, Sevilla do not want to offer the full amount that Inter are asking.
Tuttosport report that the La Liga club are negotiating a deal where the fee would be closer to €3-5 million.
In addition to that, however, Inter would also receive a percentage of future resale whenever Sevilla sell Agoume.
