Brentford are reportedly in advanced talks to sign RC Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangaré, with the proposed transfer valued at around €48 million. The 24-year-old defensive midfielder is said to be the subject of ongoing discussions between the Premier League club and the French side.
According to a report from L'Equipe, Brentford are pushing to complete the move as they look to strengthen their options in midfield. Sangaré has been linked with a switch from Lens as negotiations continue over the structure of the deal.
The potential signing would bring a specialist holding midfielder to Brentford's squad if an agreement is finalized. Sangaré, a Mali international, has built his profile in France and now appears to be a serious target for the London club.
At this stage, the move has not been completed, but the talks are described as advanced. That leaves Brentford and Lens working toward a possible agreement on one of the notable midfield deals involving a Premier League club this window.
