You know the longest day on foot transfer window, make way for the longest transfer. And it is in Manchester United that it happens, since it has been more than a month now that MU tries to tear off an agreement from Brentford to chew Bryan Mbeumo. The former Trojan released his best season in the Premier League in a club he had joined in 2019 from Troyes. Enough to seduce Ruben Amorim, who made it priority. A priori, Manchester United and its financial power, even limited by the decisions of its shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, had something to complete this file in a few days.
But he came across a damn greedy Brentford, who did not hesitate to claim € 80 million for his player, who had only one year of contract. Mu tried her luck twice with offers around € 60 million, refused. And see the Red Devils struggling to tie the deal quickly amused England. Accounts were thus found on social networks having fun counting the number of days of negotiations. The troll was even taken up by Domino's Pizza Uk, who posted: “We have delivered 752599483 Pizzas since United began to try to recruit Mbeumo”.
Finally the right offer?
Having become the laughing stock of England, Manchester United finally gave a boost last night. The Red Devils returned to the charge with an offer of 80 million euros. 75 M € fixed + € 5 million in bonuses. It is now in the hands of Brentford, who managed to obtain this fabulous offer and which should finally give in. Because the 25 -year -old Cameroonian striker, author of 20 goals in the Premier League last season, has already expressed his wish to join the residents of Old Trafford. If the agreement is reached, Mbeumo would become the third summer recruit after the new number 10, Matheus Cunha and the young defender Diego Leon.
The latest information finally invite optimism to Manchester United, who offered a contract until 2030 to the person concerned, with an additional year option. Mbeumo could thus participate in the club's American tour, which will start next Tuesday. The end of a surprisingly long file. Brentford probably has not finished negotiating, since it is now his other striker Yoane Wissa, ex-Lorient, who is courted, by Newcastle.
