Mamadou Sangare transfer to Brentford

Overview

By late July 2026 Brentford confirmed the signing of Mamadou Sangare as a club‑record transfer. The club announced a five‑year deal (with an optional sixth year) and reported the fee at $52 million, aligning with earlier estimates of £38 million to €48 million. Sangare arrived after a season of 33 Ligue 1 appearances, three goals and four assists, and after being named the Marc‑Vivien Foé award winner as Ligue 1’s best African player. Head coach Keith Andrews said the midfielder had been on Brentford’s radar for some time. The purchase was highlighted alongside other Premier League clubs’ record spending, such as Arsenal’s pursuit of Bruno Guimarães. The transfer solidifies Brentford’s midfield options ahead of the 2026‑27 Premier League campaign.
