We revealed it to you exclusively on French Football Weekly : OM tried to acquire Lucien Agoumé, young Inter midfielder. The Phocaeans, however, were overtaken by Sevilla even though they were off to a fairly good start. During his presentation, the 21-year-old midfielder trained at Sochaux confirmed Marseille’s interest and explained why he ultimately chose to join Spain.
“There have been contacts with Marseille, but we have been talking for a very long time with Sevilla, with Victor (Orta, sports director, Editor’s note). The decision was easy, even if I have a lot of respect for OM. It was the best decision. I’m very happy to be here, it’s a huge opportunity for me. I already know some French players, like Nianzou, Soumaré, Badé… Integration is easy like that. The teammates made the first days here and this morning’s training easier for me.”explained the new Sevillian player.
