Inter Milan and Sevilla are right on the verge of agreeing a transfer of midfielder Lucien Agoume.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reports in a tweet that the clubs are one step from sealing the deal for the 22-year-old’s move.

Midfielder Agoume spent the second half of last season on loan with Sevilla in Ligue 1.

Prior to that, the Frenchman had been at Inter for the first half of the campaign.

However, Agoume made just one appearance during that period. He had a brief cameo during a 4-0 Serie A win away to Salernitana.

That has been a persistent theme throughout Agoume’s time as an Inter player.

The France Under-21 international has never really featured in the Nerazzurri project under either Antonio Conte or Simone Inzaghi.

Therefore, Agoume has gone out on a number of loans over the past few seasons.

The Frenchman spent the 2020-21 season at Spezia.

Then, during the 2021-22 campaign he was back in his native France with Brest. He was also back in Ligue 1 the following campaign, on loan with Troyes.

Inter & Sevilla One Step From Agreeing Lucien Agoume Transfer

Having not left Inter for another loan last summer, Agoume joined Sevilla last January.

The Andalusians beat Marseille to sign the 22-year-old.

At the end of the half-season loan deal, Sevilla had a purchase option on Agoume. They could have signed the Frenchman on a permanent basis for a fee of €8 million.

However, Sevilla declined the exercise that purchase option. Therefore, Agoume returned to Inter.

That does not mean, however, that the Spanish club lost their interest in signing Agoume.

The 22-year-old’s performances over the second half of last season convinced Sevilla.

However, reports indicate that the Spaniards have been keen to negotiate a lower fee with Inter.

Reports indicate that Sevilla are aiming to sign Agoume for a fee in the region of €3-5 million, plus a percentage of resale.

And according to Sky transfer expert Di Marzio, the talks are nearly at the finish line.

Inter and Sevilla should close the deal soon. Then Agoume can complete his move back to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
