Despite submitting two offers, United have seen both rejected, with Brentford holding firm on their £63 million asking price for the Cameroon international. ..Continue Reading
The club is still determined to secure Mbeumo’s signature and hopes to finalize the transfer before heading to the United States for their Premier League Summer Series tour.
However, complications are mounting. Although Tottenham had shown interest, Mbeumo has made it clear that his preference is a move to Old Trafford.
Now, developments elsewhere could further complicate United’s efforts to land the striker.
Nottingham Forest have reignited their interest in Yoane Wissa, Mbeumo’s teammate, submitting a new bid after previous attempts fell short.
Forest view Wissa as a replacement for Anthony Elanga, who is reportedly close to joining Newcastle in the coming days.
If Wissa completes a move to the City Ground, Brentford may raise their valuation of Mbeumo even higher, making negotiations more difficult for United.
This could force United to accelerate talks in order to reach an agreement before Brentford lose both key attackers. Brentford’s director of football, Phil Giles, recently stated that no deal for Mbeumo is imminent.
As quoted by Sky Sports, he said: “There’s significant interest in Bryan. I think it’s been well publicised and spoken about, his preference. I think from what I understand he’s also, if needs be, happy to stay at Brentford next year as well.
“Let’s see on that. I think our position is that he had an unbelievable season last season, we expected interest in him. If that deal’s right, there’s a deal to do, if not then he stays.
“We’ve spoken to Bryan and his representatives. It’s not a given that he’s going to depart this summer. There is interest.
“He had a great season last season so it’s inevitable there’s going to be interest in him. If we get the right offer, there’s potentially a deal to be done but there’s only so much we can say on that.”
