Manchester United have made a first bid of £55m to Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils are reportedly willing to pay £45m up front and a further £10m in performance-related bonuses,
but that is still well below Brentford’s asking price. Ruben Amorim is looking for attacking reinforcements and Mbeumo is the second target of the summer after the recent signing of Matheus Cunha
. Mbeumo is contracted to the Bees until next year. But the club have the option to extend it for a further year. The player himself is keen to move to United if the two clubs can
reach an agreement.
Last season, he played every Premier League game, scored 20 goals and made 8 assists, which was an outstanding performance, causing Brentford to value him at over £60 million.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has said that if there is a suitable offer, he is ready to let Mbeumo leave the team.
Previously, Newcastle, Spurs and Arsenal have contacted the 25-year-old star. But he clearly stated that he wanted to play for Man United and wanted to be part of the Amorim project. Man United
themselves also want to sell some players to raise funds. The two players who are definitely ready to be released are Marcus Rashford. And Jadon Sancho, who are on a salary of around £300,000 per week.
If they are sold, there will be a significant gap in their salary. But if they agree to pay Mbeumo’s asking price, he will immediately. Become one of the team’s highest-paid players (he currently receives around £50,000 per week). And want to increase it five times)
There are many more players who could leave the team this summer. Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Menu, Anthony, Andre Onana and possibly Rasmus Hojlund. Who are ready to be let go if the right price is received.
Manchester United urgently need to strengthen their attack after finishing 15th last season with only 44 goals, the second lowest scoring team in the Premier League among teams. That were not relegated, and missed out on European football for the second time in 35 years.
