Brentford's director of football, Phil Giles, confirmed ongoing negotiations with Bryan Mbeumo amid interest from Manchester United, who had two bids rejected for the forward. Mbeumo wishes to join Old Trafford, but Brentford is focused on their valuation before proceeding. Giles noted that there's been little progress on the transfer, stating the player is important to the team and could remain with them next season if a deal isn't reached. Additionally, there are talks about Brentford's captain Christian Norgaard moving to Arsenal, showing a proactive stance on player movements.
"He had a fantastic season. We expected big interest in him, we have had big interest in him. He has his ideas about where he wants to take his career."
"If needs be, he's happy to stay. If it's not right deal, why would we do it? He is certainly one of our best players, if not our best player."
