Manchester United has taken their step for Brentford in favor of Bryan Mbeumo after the Cameroon International had communicated that he wanted to become a member of the Red Devils this summer
Brentford has rejected Manchester United's opening bid for Bryan Mbeumo and the Red Devils have told that their proposal is considerably with their transfer valuation. The side of Ruben Amorim launched an attack for the 25-year-old attacker after a confirmation that he would give a move to Old Trafford, despite rival interest from Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham respectively.
United's offer was an initial £ 45 million worth plus £ 10 million in add-ons, with the total package up to £ 55 million and was strongly rejected.
However, Brentford is determined to get the best possible deal and has communicated to both United and the camp of the player that they think that Mbeumo is worth the same type of money that United has recently paid wolves for Matheus Cunha.
The Europa League two place has already closed the signing of the Brazil international after activating its £ 62.5 million release clause.
In the meantime, Mbeumo is technically only one year about his current deal at the Gtech, but the bees do have a 12-month extension option that they can activate to protect the value of the winger.
The starman of Thomas Frank scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season and also registered seven assists of top flight. Only Mohamed Salah (47) and Alexander Isak (29) have achieved more target contributions in the Premier League.
United wants Mbeumo to lead their new look attack with Cunha and they remain convinced that they will eventually get their husbands. Last week bee boss Frank made it clear that Brentford would have a premium price for their top goalscorer, because they were not under immediate pressure to sell it cheaply.
Frank told the Danish newspaper tips magazine: “It is clear that if he is sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount. It is a lot. Really a lot. Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace it. It cannot be done.
“There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we don't have an x number of million pounds to buy.”
The Dane also admitted that he was expecting widespread interest in Mbeumo, so the early bid from United will not have come in west in West.
He added: “I would say that I would be surprised if many big clubs didn't watch him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer.
“How many Wingers score 20 goals for a center tablos club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethics. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player.”
