Brentford paid nearly 50 million euros for a player who cost only 1.7 million over two years

Brentford has completed the transfer of midfielder Mamadou Sangaré from Lens, marking a new record for the club. The “Beetles” have acquired the 24-year-old for 48 million euros, establishing it as the most expensive player signing in the club’s history. This fee surpasses the previous record set by Dango Ouattara, who was transferred last summer for 43 million euros.

Sangaré joins the Premier League following a notable season with Lens, where he was a central figure for the French team. His contributions helped Lens secure a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and win the Coupe de France. During his time there, he made 33 appearances, scoring three goals and providing four assists.

Speaking after the record transfer to West London, Mamadou Sangaré stated, “I’ve only one desire: to help the team as much as possible.” His arrival signals a significant investment for Brentford as they look to strengthen their squad in the Premier League. The acquisition of Sangaré for 48 million euros underscores the club’s commitment to bolstering its playing roster with high-profile talent.
