Manchester United transfer offer rejected by Bryan Mbeumo, reportedly tempted by competitor in the Premier League instead
United's Mbeumo Pursuit Heats Up, Despite Tottenham Connection
Manchester United is hustling to land Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, who's got his eye on Old Trafford, despite rumors suggesting Tottenham Hotspur may join the race.
According to talkSPORT, Mbeumo is desired by the Red Devils, who are allegedly ready to massage his £250,000-week wage demands.
But ex-Arsenal legend Perry Groves urges Mbeumo to swap Bees for Spurs, stating that the Champions League allure and career advancement would benefit him more.
However, the financial aspect could dampen Tottenham's chances, with Groves highlighting that top-tier teams normally pay their elite players over £200,000-per-week, an amount Spurs might not match.
Co-host Ade Oladipo and transfer expert Stuart Pearce share Groves' opinion, agreeing that Mbeumo may link up with Tottenham due to managerial connections and location preference, but those factors may not overshadow the financial aspect.
As of now, Tottenham has not formally expressed interest in signing Mbeumo, having previously passed on an offer from United worth £45million plus £10m in add-ons that was declined by Brentford, who hold out for £60m. A £60m deal would shatter Brentford's existing transfer record set by Ivan Toney's sale to Al Ahli last year.
