Africa-Press – Mauritius. Brentford are standing their ground over the future of star forward Bryan Mbeumo, with the Premier League side refusing to drop their asking price of at least £63 million for the Cameroon international.
The 25-year-old has been the subject of serious interest from Manchester United, who view him as a key addition to bolster their attacking options this summer. However, talks have stalled as the Red Devils are yet to meet Brentford’s valuation — and the West London club is showing no sign of compromise.
Club sources have confirmed that unless a deal is struck before the weekend, Mbeumo will be expected to report for pre-season training on Monday, along with the rest of the first-team squad.
Mbeumo has grown into one of Brentford’s most reliable performers in recent seasons, contributing goals, assists, and consistent work rate on the right flank. Brentford are determined not to lose their attacking lynchpin without commanding significant fees.
United, who are keen to inject pace and creativity into their frontline under Amorim, are exploring other options but remain hopeful of reaching a breakthrough. However, the clock is ticking, and Brentford’s no-nonsense stance is adding pressure to the negotiations.
Mbeumo, currently on holiday after international duty with Cameroon, has remained professional throughout the speculation, but his long-term future now hinges on whether Manchester United are willing to meet Brentford’s demands — or walk away.
For now, unless a dramatic twist occurs over the weekend, Mbeumo is heading back to West London to begin pre-season as a Brentford player.
