Mamadou Sangaré may not be the only Sangaré that ends up at Brentford this season. The Bees now have his brother Adama in their sights.
Mamadou joined Brentford in a €48m deal from Lens this summer after shining at the French club last season following a move from Rapid Vienna.
He’s quickly impressed in Keith Andrews’ side. He bagged a superb assist in the 3-0 win over Tottenham on the opening day that had everyone talking. He also added another assist in the 6-1 win over Birmingham in EFL Cup.
The 24-year-old is seen as a potential breakout star in the Premier League this season and it seems it’s earned his family extra attention.
Brentford interest
Africa Foot report exclusive information today that Brentford have turned their attention to Mamadou’s 17-year-old brother Adama Sangaré.
He recently underwent a trial at Lens, and now Brentford are targeting him as well. Their intention is to bring the Junior Élite academy youngster to England. Sangaré is simply waiting to turn 18 before signing his first professional contract with the club.
Interestingly, they face competition from Rapid Vienna, who are also prepared to host him. His brother Mamadou made 50 appearances for the Austrian side between 2024 and 2025 after signing from Salzburg.
Fierce transfer battle
Africa Foot report that all signs points to a ‘fierce battle’ for the youngster’s signature.
Lens have not had their final word on the matter. Vienna are out in front as they’ve already submitted an initial offer. The outlet say taht the details of that are not yet public.
It is not difficult to imagine Brentford could match or better that offer should they wish to do so. For now, the younger Sangaré appears to just be in their sights and nothing more.
But that situation could change quickly, with the left-winger earning attention and the possibility of uniting with his brother in London a distinct possibility.
