The transfer saga of Bryan Mbeumo has taken another dramatic twist, with the seemingly imminent deal now facing a new obstacle.
According to the latest reports, Brentford have upped their asking price for the Cameroonian forward at the last minute. The club is now demanding a fee of £70 million, an increase from the previously discussed £65 million valuation.
In response, Manchester United are standing firm on their position. The club has made it clear that they are not willing to pay more than their original valuation of £65 million.
This has created a new £5 million gap between the two clubs, plunging the transfer back into a state of uncertainty. What looked like a nearly completed deal is now in jeopardy, with its future depending on whether either side is willing to compromise on this new valuation.
