Lucien Agoume (Sevilla)
August 2025
Sevilla have set a €30m asking price for Lucien Agoume, with Manchester United monitoring him as a cheaper alternative to Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. United’s interest in Baleba has cooled after Brighton demanded a massive £115m fee. Agoume, signed permanently last year, could be available below his €40m release clause.

Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United)
August 2025

Chelsea want £50m for Nkunku after rejecting Bayern’s loan bid, while United value Garnacho at £50m. Garnacho only wants Chelsea before the September 1 deadline. Unless Chelsea offload Nkunku, Garnacho’s arrival could collapse. The Blues’ reluctance to lower their valuation complicates the deal, leaving United frustrated while Garnacho waits on Stamford Bridge. The saga highlights Chelsea’s transfer balancing act as the window enters its final weeks.
