Manchester United moved again for Brian Mbommo.
Multiple media outlets, including the British Telegraph, reported on the 23rd (Korea time) 'Manchester United offered Brentford striker Mboumo a transfer fee of more than 60 million pounds (about 110.9 billion won). Manchester United offered an initial transfer fee of 45 million pounds (about 83.2 billion won) and an additional 10 million pounds (about 18.5 billion won) earlier this month, but Brentford once refused to do so, reports said.
Subsequently, discussions followed, and Manchester United offered Brentford a transfer fee by guaranteeing a higher amount in advance. Manchester United players will return to pre-season training from July 7, with manager Huveng Amorim hoping Mbömo will join the team by then, he explained.
Mbomo is a player that Manchester United is doing its best to recruit. England's The Athletic decided to move to Manchester United on the 4th. Manchester United are ready to hold talks to bring Mbommo in this summer, reports said.
Negotiations did not go as easily as Brentford rejected Manchester United's first offer, as the Telegraph explained. Since then, Mbömo has also been linked with Tottenham. This is because manager Thomas Frank, who has developed Mboumo into a top Premier League (EPL) striker, headed to Tottenham. Rumors have emerged from the region that Frank may ask Tottenham to recruit Mbömo.
But Mboumo's mind did not move at all. The Athletic's David Onstein said "It's a good opportunity for Manchester United because I don't think Umbomo will change his mind. Brentford is also considering a sale. Brentford have an advantage with two years left on the contract, but when there are players with two years left on the contract, the club mainly considers re-signing or selling. There will be no re-signing, so the sale can take place`````.
After rumors about Tottenham came out, Manchester United fans were anxious because there was no further news, but the club began to take the move again. Manchester United is believed to have put in a second proposal by increasing the overall transfer fee and increasing the basic transfer fee together. Brentford are looking for a fee that would have cost Manchester United Mateusz Cunha from Wolverhampton.
It is not yet known whether Brentford rejected it or not, but Manchester United are serious about wanting to sign Mbömo. Mbommo had the best season of his life as Brentford's ace, scoring 20 league goals and seven assists last season. Manchester United, which wants to reinforce its offense, is aiming for Mbomo after Cunha.
Manchester United plans to focus on cleaning up its offense if Mbomo is also recruited. They say they will sell the players on the release list and use the money to find a new striker.
