Brentford, which lost its coach this summer, is in danger of losing two more key players.

Key winger Brian Mbommo (25) and defensive midfielder Christian Neungor (31) have been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal, respectively.

British public broadcaster 'BBC' reported on the 24th (Korea time) that Manchester United invested 60 million pounds (about 111 billion won) to recruit Mbömo. The media reported that the first offer, which offered a transfer fee of 45 million pounds (optional £10 million), was rejected and then the transfer fee was raised.




Cameroon's national team Mbomo drew the attention of big clubs by exploding his career-high 20 goals and 9 assists in the 2024-2025 season.

Not only Manchester United but also Son Heung-min's team Tottenham are reportedly interested in recruiting Mbomo.

Thomas Frank, who has moved from Brentford to Tottenham, has asked the club to recruit Mbömo, according to a number of media reports.




Brentford, who finished 10th in the Premier League last season, will inevitably suffer a big blow if even Mbomo leaves because of the departure of the coach who laid the foundation for the team for nearly seven years.

In addition to Mboumo, Brentford have main midfielder Neurgar linked with Arsenal. Arsenal, who are struggling to renew their contracts with Thomas Parti, have found a new veteran defensive midfielder in preparation for Parti's departure, and Norgar is on the list of interest. The transfer fee is 11 million euros (about 17.4 billion won) in the media.

Denmark international Norgar has played for Brentford since 2019 after playing for Hamburg, Brønby and Fiorentina. He played 34 games in the Premier League last season, maintaining his team's midfield, exploding five career-high goals, and demonstrating his offensive instincts.




Brentford previously moved to Leverkusen at the end of the season by starting goalkeeper Mark Pleken. This position was filled by Liverpool backup Quibin Keleher.

Brentford, who returned to the EPL for the first time in 74 years in 2021 under Frank's leadership, survived by ranking 13th, 9th, 16th and 10th in the league from the 2021-2022 season, respectively.

Brentford have yet to appoint a successor to Frank.
