Brentford -star Bryan Mbeumo is on the road after a striking season in the Premier League where he scored 20 goals for the bees, with a £ 60 million transfer to Manchester United now on the table
Manchester United hopes to make Bryan Mbeumo their second signing of the summer after his striking season in Brentford. The Cameroon star scored 20 times in the last term to attract a host from the largest clubs of the Premier League.
Newcastle, Liverpool and Tottenham have all followed Mbeumo, with all three able to offer European football. The finish of the tone in the top five and the success of the Europa League of Spurs ensures that the couple will both be in the Champions League of next season, together with the champions.
That is something United, which ended 15th in the Premier League – an unwanted record – and was defeated by Spurs in the Europa -Final, cannot agree.
And it has been suggested that Mbeumo's wish to play the next term European football would mean that a switch to Old Trafford was not in the disposal. Certainly, Newcastle had had the feeling that they were in a pole position to land the 25-year-old, with Spurs very much as outsiders and Liverpool those other goals beneficiaries.
However, after United had kicked off their summer transfer window with the signing of £ 62.5 million from Wolves Vooruit Matheus Cunha, Ruben Amorim and the hierarchy of the Red Devils immediately focused attention on the second No. 10 that he hopes in the next term in Veld: Mbeumo.
It immediately turned out that Mbeumo had changed ideas and only wants to have a move to United to be part of Amorim's United Rebuild. Mbeumo inquired Newcastle that he only wants to move to Manchester.
Sources in the vicinity of the magpies insist that he is being paid far above their wage scale by choosing not to get their European fight, but they were not interested in breaking their salary structure. Mbeumo earns a basic £ 45k per week in Brentford and wants to earn that amount four or five times.
United still has to negotiate about transfer costs with Brentford, but that is not expected to be a problem.
The Bees business model means that they are happy to cash in on their valued possession, while his shares are at a record high – assume the money and places it in the direction of the next young stars that will try to make a splash in the Gtech Community Stage before they are inevitably sold for big profit.
