- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
Multiple Premier League clubs have been made aware of Bryan Mbeumo’s possible availability but it would take a huge fee to allow him to leave Brentford this summer, HITC understands.
This comes after Bryan Mbeumo admitted, in an interview with L’Equipe, that perhaps the time is right to move on from the Bees.
Since Brentford achieved promotion to the Premier League under Thomas Frank back in 2021, French forward Mbeumo has been a vital cog in the front three for the Bees.
In Ivan Toney’s absence last season, the French winger stepped up for the club with nine goals and six assists but his time at Brentford could be coming to an end.
Multiple Premier League clubs interested
Sources have confirmed to HITC that Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are understood to have been made aware of the player’s desire to leave the club via intermediaries.
In a recent interview with French outlet L’Equipe, Mbeumo was asked about his future and admitted that he wants to compete for big trophies.
“I have spent five years at Brentford, at a club that has allowed me to grow and pass a milestone but yes, I would like to play in the biggest competitions, at the best clubs. It is tantalising to see some big clubs interested in me. We will see,” said Mbeumo.
Despite interest from the trio of Premier League clubs, sources have also confirmed that Brentford will drive a hard bargain to allow the Frenchman to leave the club.
Mbeumo is under contract at Brentford until 2026 and the Bees would demand a fee in excess of £50 million for the winger.
