Union Berlin is pursuing Arthur Avom, for whom Lorient has set a transfer price of 15 million euros. Avom is under contract with FC Lorient until June 2027 after the club activated an extension option to protect his market value ahead of a possible transfer. The player has resumed training with FC Lorient while waiting for the situation to develop, and he is hoping discussions progress quickly.

Bild reports that Union Berlin are interested in Arthur Avom from FC Lorient. According to the report, Avom's contract expires on June 30, which would allow the club to sign him on a free transfer. Avom is viewed as a possible successor to Rani Khedira, if the veteran leaves for Mönchengladbach after the World Cup.

Arthur Avom, a 21-year-old from Cameroon, is on the shortlist of Union Berlin, a German club seeking to strengthen its midfield for the upcoming season. The club has recently inquired about the conditions for a potential transfer but faces competition from several Premier League teams. According to Africafoot, Bournemouth is considered a strong favorite to sign Avom. His current club Lorient will not begin negotiations for less than 10 million euros, and the player's market value is estimated to be 15 million euros. Avom, who joined Lorient in July 2024, has a contract that expires in June 2026 and has earned 14 caps for his country, scoring one goal.
