No to Lyon, no to Barcelona. Lucien Agoumé has chosen Inter, with the Nerazzurri paying €4.5M for the 2002-born talent.

A relatively low figure certainly not because of his value, but because he recently told Sochaux the intention of not renewing contract that expires in June 2020. Agoumé is wanted by half of Europe and at the Gialloblu this past year he collected 15 Ligue 2 appearances and one in the French Cup for a total of 945 minutes, a respectable haul for a 17-year-old.

He can play both in front of the defense or a mezzala (attacking midfielder) and they call him the “new Pogba” in France, such a cumbersome comparison. In February 2018, he was named player of the month by Clairfontaine, the reward that recognizes not only accomplishment on the pitch but also behavior off of it as well as school commitment.

The next chapter for him is to go to a new country where he will start training camp with Inter first team and then Antonio Conte will decide whether Agoumé is staying with the senior team or it would be better off sending him to the Primavera.
