While waiting to know when AS Saint-Étienne will be sold, the leaders must prepare for next season. And that is why contacts would have been made to bring in Lucien Agoumé.
In May 2019, the Lorraine press revealed the interest of AS Saint-Étienne, but also OL, Monaco and Barça for Lucien Agoumé, then international U17 tricolor from FC Sochaux. But ultimately it was to Inter that the midfielder had signed, the Italian club loaning him this season to La Spezia. Linked until 2023 with the Nerazzurri, Lucien Agoumé could be loaned again next season and that is why the leaders of ASSE would have inquired about the possibilities of such an operation with their Milan counterparts. According to the site Internews.it, in addition to the Greens, the Lecce club, well placed to return to Serie A also came knocking on the door of Inter to be loaned Agoumé.
However, on the Inter side, the situation of Lucien Agoumé has not yet been the subject of a firm and final decision. Indeed, if an extension until 2024 seems close, the leader of the Italian championship could then decide to permanently transfer the French midfielder in order to recover a significant sum. Clubs are already ready to invest in Lucien Agoumé and in particular Betis Sevilla, which closely follows the midfielder. An operation that could make it possible to get money into the cash registers, Antonio Conte wishing to bring a little more experience in this locker room, which does not quite fit with the profile of the young Frenchman. AS Saint-Étienne therefore risks having to wait a little longer before knowing the Milanese response to its loan request.
