Overview

• Spanish reports now suggest United are stepping up interest in Agoumé, with claims of a £35m release clause and talk of a lower fee, though these details remain unverified.
• Earlier links to Brighton’s Carlos Baleba have not progressed, with price and reluctance to sell cited as obstacles.
• Separate reporting places Sevilla’s valuation at about £25m and notes Agoumé is under contract until 2028, highlighting an affordable profile compared with other targets.
• Fabrizio Romano has said he is not aware of club-to-club discussions at this stage, indicating the situation is still developing.
• United have spent heavily on attackers this summer but still seek a defensive midfielder, and Agoumé, 23, is profiled as a strong ball-winner who fits that brief.
