Man Utd’s third bid for Bryan Mbeumo has finally convinced Brentford to sell.
Manchester United have finally agreed a deal to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, a report has confirmed.
Having failed with two bids—£55 million ($73.8 million) and then £62.5 million ($83.8 million)—progress on this deal appeared to grind to a halt before United submitted a third offer on Thursday which met Brentford’s asking price.
The Athletic note the two clubs have shaken hands on a deal worth an initial £65 million ($87.2 million) plus a further £6 million ($8.1 million), taking the total cost of the agreement to a whopping £71 million ($95.2 million).
Personal terms were reportedly agreed with Mbeumo weeks ago after the Cameroon international made it clear he only wanted to join United this summer. Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur all previously held an interest but soon backed away when Mbeumo privately announced his preference.
