Manchester United and Brentford are now in conversation for the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo, although the opening bid of the Red Devils for the frontman is likely to be rejected
Manchester United has made an opening offer for Bryan Mbeumo worth £ 55 million, although it is probably rejected by Brentford, who appreciate their star of more than £ 60 million.
Mbeumo, 25 has emerged as a priority goal for the Red Devils after they stamped a deal for Matheus Cunha earlier this week. However, there is not yet an agreement with Brentford about the versatile attacker, who has indicated a preference to become a member of United.
After the approaching of Brentford for club to club conversations, United has submitted a proposal worth £ 55 million including ADD – but that offer is expected to be reprimanded.
As described by athletics, the initial compensation is £ 45 million with a further £ 10 million in add-ons. That package is a way under what Brentford would expect for a player who broke the barrier of 20 goals in the Premier League last season.
Mirror Football revealed on Wednesday that United would probably get a strong response when making their first bid on Mbeumo, which is rated by the bees on more than £ 60 million.
United is expected to negotiate with their domestic rivals at a prize for the Cameroon Star while they push ahead with plans to strengthen the attacking options of Ruben Amorim.
Despite the fact that Mbeumo is in the last year of its contract, Brentford has an option of one year to extend the deal and as such not to sell pressure to sell.
They appreciate MBUEMO at a similar level such as the sum that United has paid for Cunha and, as Mirror Football has unveiled, are ready to play hardball about the former Troyes man, with the bees prepared to hold out as long as it is necessary to get what they feel that the player is worth.

While Mbeumo is enthusiastic about moving to Old Trafford, United's strive for a player who is able to play both widely and in the middle, complicated by interest in Yoane Wissa from clubs in Saudi -Arabia.
Brentford is not willing to lose Mbeumo and Wissa this summer, which means that United may have to act quickly to prevent an important target being abused.
United is desperately looking for more firepower after ending the 2024-25 campaign with only 44 league goals to their name; The second lowest in the competition outside the three relegated teams.
