Manchester United Increases Bid for Mbeumo: 94 Million on the Table

The Manchester United have intensified their efforts to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. Sources close to the club reveal that a new offer has been submitted. Manchester United’s proposal amounts to 65 million pounds sterling, with the possibility of adding 5 million more in bonuses. Brentford’s response regarding the acceptance of this offer is still awaited. The priority for United has been to secure the arrival of Mbeumo, especially after finalizing the signing of Matheus Cunha. During negotiations, Brentford has made it clear that they value Mbeumo above the 62.5 million pounds sterling that United paid for Cunha.

Mbeumo, younger than Cunha, surpassed the latter in the number of goals scored in the Premier League last season. The situation is complicated for the Cameroonian international due to the multiple inquiries that Brentford has received for his attacking partner, Yoane Wissa. According to sources, Brentford is reluctant to lose both players in the same transfer market. Manchester United hopes to close the deal for Mbeumo, although time is against them for the player to join the pre-season tour in America. Ruben Amorim’s team has scheduled their trip to Chicago for Tuesday, where they will establish their base camp before playing three matches in the United States.
