There is a lot of controversy over the future of Brian Mbomo (Brentford).
Mbjömo's departure from Brentford is a given. Mbommo will be out of contract with Brentford in June next year. Brentford, a selling club, has to let him go this summer for a fee.
Manchester United's transfer was likely. With Manchester United and Arsenal jumping into the race to sign Mbhoemo, Mbhoemo ruled in Manchester United's favor. Negotiations on transfer fees between Manchester United and Brentford have also begun in earnest.
Mbommo, born in 1999, nestled in Brentford in August 2019. He played for two seasons in the Championship (Second Division), driving Brentford's promotion to the English Premier League (EPL). He also drew an upward curve in the EPL, and has grown into a striker that big clubs are paying attention to in the 2024-2025 season. He scored 20 goals and eight assists in the EPL.
Mboumo, born in France, is a member of Cameroon's national team. Brentford signed him for a transfer fee of 5.8 million pounds (about 10.7 billion won). It has now grown into a big star with 60 million pounds (about 110 billion won). Mbömo played 136 EPL matches for Brentford, scoring 70 goals in 242 matches, including 42 goals.

However, there was a variable in Mbömo's future. The trend was twisted when Thomas Frank, the manager who made Mbommo's day, was appointed as Tottenham's head coach. Tottenham entered the recruitment campaign and is currently aiming for 'Hijacking'.
It has been claimed that Brentford have rejected Manchester United's offer. Tottenham opened talks with Brentford last week over Mbommo's move.
Mbomo also expressed his strong trust in Frank, who took on a new challenge. Asked by England 'Sky Sports' if Frank would go to Tottenham, he said "It's a little new to me. It can be like a soccer player's life, and you have to accept it. Coach Frank has done so much for me. You trusted me from the beginning," he said.
And "He brought me up as a human being, as a player. So I can only wish him the best, and I'm sure he'll do well"He's really smart. I know where I want to lead the team and how I want to play it. I think he did a great job at Brentford," he praised.
Mbömo continued "I think there must be time to adapt. There is also a Champions League game. I'm expecting more but I'm sure he'll do well. He knows how to talk to people, he knows how to form groups. That's why we were able to achieve such a good result."

Danish coach Frank took the helm of Brentford in the championship (second division) in October 2018 and promoted him to the EPL in the 2020-2021 season. It was the first promotion in 86 years. He successfully commanded seven seasons at Brentford. In the EPL, he ranked 13th, 9th, 16th, and 10th in four seasons.
However, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is said to be confident of signing Mboumo. Citing the Manchester Evening News on the 16th (Korea Standard Time), England's 『Daily Mail" quoted 'Tottenham are showing interest after appointing Frank as manager, but Manchester United are still confident that they can recruit Mbjömo for £60 million this summer."
There is only one basis. Mbomo told his aides that he wanted to join Frank's change.
Mbomo's main position is on the right wing. It's the other side of left winger Son Heung-min. Tottenham have fully recruited Matisse Tell, who was on loan. Son Heung-min is likely to make a different choice if he holds Mbomo in his arms. But Mbomo's eyes still appear to be on United.
