Bryan Mbeumo, the former Troyes striker, is now making a splash in the Premier League with Brentford. Recruited in 2019 for 6.5 million euros, a record for the London club at the time, the 25-year-old has become a key player in the Bees attack. This season, with already 13 goals scored in 20 games, he surpasses stars like Ivan Toney and attracts the interest of the biggest European clubs. Manchester United and Arsenal, in particular, are engaged in a fierce battle to land the Cameroon international, while Newcastle are also closely monitoring the situation, the newspaper reveals the Team.
More than 40 million?
Brentford, for their part, closes the door to any departure this winter, but a record offer could reshuffle the cards this summer. Mbeumo, under contract until 2026, is valued at 40 million pounds sterling (around 46 million euros). It would be a spectacular leap for a player who arrived discreetly from Ligue 1. Already coveted by Ruben Amorim, the Manchester United coach, for his offensive versatility and his work ethic, Mbeumo could thus become one of the most successful transfers highlights of the summer of 2024. For Brentford, this potential departure would constitute a new sales record, enough to shake up the month of January!
