“I would love to …..”: Bryan Mbeumo responds immediately as Tottenham trump Man Utd with huge transfer offer
What’s Next for Bryan Mbeumo? The Brentford Star at the Centre of a Premier League Tug-of-War
The question on everyone’s lips this summer is: where will Bryan Mbeumo land next? The Brentford forward, fresh off a remarkable Premier League campaign where he netted 20 goals, has become one of the most sought-after names in English football. As the summer transfer window heats up, Mbeumo is finding himself right at the center of a battle between several top-tier clubs—each vying for his signature.
For some time, Newcastle United were believed to be frontrunners for the Cameroon international’s services. The Magpies have tracked Mbeumo for over a year and had been seriously weighing up a move to bring him to St. James’ Park. However, talks eventually broke down. While Newcastle insiders suggest that Brentford’s hefty asking price was a key sticking point, the more significant obstacle appeared to be Mbeumo’s personal wage demands. Those close to the player indicate that he was never especially keen on a move to the North East, despite Newcastle’s interest.
Instead, Manchester United emerged as the frontrunners for his signature. With a deal for Wolves attacker Matheus Cunha all but finalized, the Red Devils quickly turned their full attention toward Mbeumo, identifying him as a priority signing in their attacking rebuild. Negotiations were opened, and two formal bids have already been made. The first offer, believed to be worth £45 million upfront with an additional £10 million in performance-related add-ons, was swiftly rejected by Brentford. A second offer also failed to meet the West London club’s valuation.
Just when it seemed United were closing in, Tottenham Hotspur entered the fray—and in a big way. In a dramatic twist, Spurs launched an aggressive bid to hijack the deal, spurred on by their newly-appointed manager Thomas Frank. Frank, of course, knows Mbeumo well, having worked closely with him during his successful tenure at Brentford. Now at the helm in North London, Frank is eager to reunite with the dynamic winger and has made him a top target for his new project.
According to exclusive information revealed by Mirror Football, Tottenham tabled a substantial offer on Friday evening. Their proposal is understood to be worth £70 million in total—£65 million guaranteed, with an additional £5 million in bonuses. This offer significantly outstrips United’s latest bid, adding an extra £10 million in overall value and offering more guaranteed cash upfront.
Despite the more lucrative offer from Spurs, Mbeumo is said to still favour a move to Old Trafford. Manchester United are reportedly prepared to offer a significantly higher wage package, which could prove to be the deciding factor. At United, Mbeumo could expect to earn between £150,000 and £175,000 per week, with performance incentives and bonuses potentially pushing his weekly earnings to £200,000.
Tottenham, on the other hand, would need to shatter their existing wage structure to come close to matching that. As things stand, Mbeumo would be offered a salary in the region of £130,000 to £140,000 per week at Spurs. Even with bonuses included, this would still fall short of what United are putting on the table.
However, in a subtle yet intriguing twist, Mbeumo himself has added fuel to the fire with a cryptic post on social media. On Friday afternoon, shortly before Spurs’ bid became public knowledge, the 25-year-old took to Instagram to acknowledge Thomas Frank’s exit from Brentford. Until then, he had remained silent on the matter, but he reposted Brentford’s farewell message nearly 24 hours later, adding two prayer-hand emojis—possibly signaling appreciation, reflection, or a deeper connection to Frank than many realized.
Now, with both Manchester United and Tottenham in a bidding war and Mbeumo reportedly re-evaluating his options, the saga is far from over. One thing is certain: Bryan Mbeumo is on the move—it’s just a matter of where he’ll call home next season.
