Man United and Newcastle eye Bryan Mbeumo amid summer transfer battle
The forward shared an image of himself alongside a sunglasses emoji, hinting at some well-earned downtime during Brentford's rare break from fixtures this weekend.
Despite the quiet spell, Mbeumo's post drew plenty of attention, with Chelsea's Reece James, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, and Brentford teammate Yoane Wissa among those to like the update.
Interest in the 25-year-old is unsurprising. Football Insider revealed that Newcastle United are ready to meet Brentford's valuation for Mbeumo in a bid to bring the winger to St James' Park this summer.
He has enjoyed a standout campaign, scoring 18 goals and registering seven assists across 37 appearances, racking up 3,127 minutes of football this season.
Brentford face contract dilemma over Bryan Mbeumo amid Man United links
With just one year remaining on his current deal, Football Insider revealed Brentford are under pressure to solve Mbeumo’s contract. A bid in the region of £50 million could be enough to tempt the Bees into selling their star man.
Manchester United have interest, but could face complications. There are concerns that bringing in a winger of Mbeumo's calibre could block the development of Amad, who is looking to establish himself in the first team next season.
That puts Ruben Amorim in a position where he must weigh up whether Mbeumo fits into his plans – while Brentford must decide whether this summer is the right time to cash in on one of their most valuable assets.
