Man Utd to complete big signing in ‘next days’ – Fabrizio Romano

Fabrizio Romano says that manchester United are confident that Bryan Mbeumo‘s stalled move to Manchester United will be resolved imminently.

United have been in negotiations for Mbeumo for several weeks now but have had two offers rejected by Brentford.

Mbeumo has already agreed personal terms with United but there have been concerns over the lack of progress on agreeing a transfer fee.

Romano insists that United are fully focused on completing the deal and says they are confident of getting it done in the “next days”.

What did Romano say?

“The main focus for Man Utd remains Bryan Mbeumo,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.

“The negotiations remain ongoing between United, Brentford and the people involved in the deal.

“Mbeumo still wants to go to Man Utd, and the club maintains its optimism that they will get the green light and sign Mbeumo in the next days.”

FootballTransfers revealed recentlythat United had a second €73 million bid for Brentford star Mbeumo rejected.

Duncan Castles, speaking to the Transfers Podcast in conjunction with FootballTransfers, explained that Brentford are steadfastly sticking to the €82m demand that they laid out to the Red Devils at the beginning of their negotiations.

Speaking on the episode of the Transfers Podcast, he explained: “Manchester United’s offer for Mbeumo has not reached the level that Brentford expect. There’s been a fair bit of reporting on this again over the last week, with people saying an agreement is in place and a medical has been pencilled in.

“The guidance I have is that this is not the case. The current offer from Manchester United, the realistic value – i.e. the guaranteed fee plus the bonuses that could realistically be triggered over his career at the club – is over £60m.

“However, Brentford have had an asking price from the beginning that they want £70m guaranteed for the player. And so far they haven’t shifted from that line.”

Mbeumo has already agreed personal terms for a contract until 2030 with the option of another year until 2031.

Mbeumo enjoyed a superb 2024-25 season, scoring 20 goals and providing eight assists.

Ruben Amorim plans to play Mbeumo behind a striker, but he can also feature out wide and as a centre-forward.

Man Utd have already confirmed the signing of Matheus Cunha for a whopping €74 million, with the Brazilian expected to occupy one of the two No.10 positions in Ruben Amorim’s side.
