Brentford has officially announced the signing of Malian midfielder Mamadou Sangaré from French club Lens, in what is considered the most expensive transfer in the club's history. This move is part of their preparations for the upcoming season in the Premier League.
Sangare, 24, has signed a contract that runs for five seasons until the summer of 2031, with an option for Brentford to extend it for an additional year. Although the official value of the deal has not been disclosed, reports suggest it is around £39 million (approximately €48 million), making it the most expensive transfer in the club's history.
The Malian international arrives at Brentford after a standout season with Lens, where he helped the team secure second place in Ligue 1 and lift the Coupe de France. He featured in 33 matches across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists, making him a target for several clubs before Brentford clinched the race for his signature.
Brentford's head coach Keith Andrews expressed his delight at completing the deal, confirming that Sangare has been a target for the club for a long time due to his technical quality and strong character. He expressed confidence that the player will be a significant addition to the team's midfield for the upcoming season.
