Manchester United have accepted the transfer of special striker Brian Mbommo from Brentford after three amendments. European transfer market news Fabrizio Romano, a first-tier reporter, floated 'Hierwigo' It means transfer confirmation.
British media TBR Football said on the 19th (Korea time) 'Umbemo will undergo a medical test to join Manchester United this weekend. As a result, Manchester United's main concerns were revealed, according to the report. Graham Bailey, a reporter for the media, exclusively reported 'Umbemo's transfer contract has finally been signed'
Romano, known as the "first tier of the transfer market" reporter, also added a unique transfer confirmation phrase 'HERE WE GO' on his SNS, saying 'Umbemo is moving to Manchester United'. Romano cited The Athletic's report and agreed on a transfer fee package worth 70 million pounds (about 130.8 billion won) between Manchester United and Brentford. Mbomo has already reached a personal agreement with Manchester United. He said he had been pushing for a move to Manchester United over other offers.

There are some differences in Romano and Bailey's reports in terms of transfer fees.
Reporter Bailey is more specific. In an exclusive report on TBR Football, he signed a contract that included an additional £65m for Manchester United. The additional amount is reported to be up to £6 million. As a result, the total transfer fee package could reach up to £71 million' but would theoretically exceed £70 million, but it would not be easy in practice. Considering the issues related to the Champions League, the additional amount is not likely to be realized' In the end, Mbomo's final transfer fee is expected to be between £65 million and £70 million.
United, which finished 15th in the league last season and lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final, has expressed a strong willingness to reinforce its striker this summer. United, who have signed Matheus Cunha for £62.5m, have been focused on bringing Mbömo back from Brentford following Amorim's strong request.

But negotiations were a challenge. Manchester United initially sent an offer of £55 million (£45 million plus £10 million in surcharges) to sign Mboumo. However, this primary proposal was dismissed by Brentford. Until then, Brentford wanted £65 million.
Manchester United then sent a second offer of £62.5 million (£55 million + £7.5 million extra). This is in line with the £62.5 million transfer fee paid when Cunha was hired. But Brentford didn't even accept this offer. This is because Mbomo, who scored 20 league goals last season and scored the most goals after Mohamed Salah, Erling Holan and Alexander Isaac, was undervalued.
In the end, when even the second proposal was ignored, Manchester United's recruitment of Mbjomo seemed to be going back to failure. Manager Amorim was dissatisfied with the Manchester United club's sluggish negotiations.
However, the Mbomoh recruitment operation, which seemed to be completely undone, has recently begun to take off due to a change in Manchester United's forward-looking attitude. Brentford have raised the transfer fee to around £70 million, which Manchester United have decided to accept.

In the end, Mbomo will go to Manchester United as originally expected. Reporter Romano said on the 19th 'Umbemo's joining process for Manchester United began. I have a medical exam today. It is a contract until June 2030, and includes a one-year extension option'

The Manchester United team will play a friendly match against Leeds United in Sweden on the 19th and then leave for Chicago next week to play a pre-season tour match with West Ham and Bournemouth. Mbomo is likely to join here and make his Manchester United debut in the United States. Due to the schedule, he is likely to play in the first game of the pre-season tour against West Ham on the 27th.
