Manchester United is facing difficulties in acquiring Bryan Mbeumo as Brentford has raised their asking price to around 70 million, exceeding United's 65 million valuation. Mbeumo has expressed his desire to join United, and an agreement seemed plausible in June, but Brentford’s new stance has led United officials, including Jim Ratcliffe, to refuse to negotiate under pressure. Brentford’s confidence stems from Mbeumo's contract situation, which allows them to extend his deal. United may need to sell or loan players to fund any increased bid for Mbeumo.
Manchester United's acquisition of Bryan Mbeumo has faced hurdles as Brentford increased the player's price to approximately 70 million, surpassing United's 65 million offer.
Ratcliffe, alongside director of football Jason Wilcox, remains firm on their valuation and is reluctant to overpay, emphasizing a patient non-reactive approach to the situation.
Brentford maintains a strong position with Mbeumo's contract expiring next summer but holding an option for an additional year, giving them leverage in negotiations.
Before considering a higher bid for Mbeumo, Ratcliffe and Wilcox may need to generate funds by selling or loaning players like Rashford, Garnacho, and others.
