Manchester United has submitted a third and final bid for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, reportedly offering £65 million, plus an additional £5 million in add-ons. This comes after two previous proposals of £55 million with £7 million in add-ons were turned down. According to transfer expert David Ornstein, the club is firm in their stance that this will be their last offer.
Bryan Mbeumo has been actively encouraging Brentford’s management to accept the United bid, indicating that he believes the offer is reasonable and expressing his desire to depart from the club. It has been conveyed by journalist Ben Jacobs that Mbeumo has communicated his intentions directly to the Brentford board.
In the meantime, Brentford’s position may be further complicated by Newcastle United’s interest in Yoane Wissa. This situation suggests that the Bees might be reluctant to lose both Wissa and Mbeumo in the current transfer window, adding urgency for United to finalize the arrangement quickly.
Mbeumo, who is 25 years old, would represent a vital addition for Manchester United, joining Matheus Cunha as part of their summer recruitment under manager Ruben Amorim. However, should the transfer materialize, fans will likely call for a further strengthening of the squad, particularly in the striker position, ahead of the new season.
This transfer saga reflects the intense competition in the Premier League as clubs look to bolster their squads. The resolution of Mbeumo’s future could pave the way for additional transfers in the league, as clubs navigate their own roster needs while managing incoming and outgoing players.
