Fabrizio Romano reveals what Man Utd plan to do after ‘no agreement’ with Brentford on Bryan Mbeumo | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano shares the latest updates on the thorny negotiations between Manchester United and Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo.

Having acquired Matheus Cunha in recent weeks, the Premier League giants have identified the 25-year-old as their second desired attacking reinforcement. But while the Brazilian’s contract with Wolves included a release clause that facilitated the process, the Reds are forced to find an agreement with the stubborn Brentford for the Cameroonian winger.

MUFC had opened up with a £45m plus £10m bid that was understandably rejected, with the Bees setting their initial asking price at £70 million. Many believed the two clubs would find a compromise somewhere down the middle, so INEOS took their time before launching a new and improved offer, believing it would unlock the situation.

Nevertheless, Brentford remain defiant, continuing to seek higher figures.

In the latest video update posted on his official YouTube channel, Romano tries to make sense of the whole situation.

The Italian journalist confirms that the two clubs have yet to find an agreement on Mbeumo. As he explains, Brentford believe the 25-year-old is worth more, based on the figures paid for other players in the past. This could be a reference to the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho and Antony.

Nevertheless, Romano reveals that Man Utd remain confident and optimistic. The management is determined to reach the finish line, so they continue to negotiate with their Premier League counterparts in the hopes of bridging the gap.

Mbeumo’s keen desire to join Man Utd could be fundamental

The transfer market expert also reiterates that Mbeumo had long given his favour to United, refusing all other destinations. Hence, the player’s clear desire to join the Old Trafford outfit could be an instrumental factor in this soap opera.

Mbeumo is coming off a sensational campaign, scoring 20 goals in the Premier League, including some absolute screamers. Hence, Man Utd aren’t willing to let him slip through their fingers, especially after striking an agreement with his entourage on personal terms.
