Manchester United has made significant progress in their pursuit of Brentford winger Mbeumo, with negotiations reaching a breakthrough stage. The Red Devils have maintained interest in the Cameroonian forward for weeks, and basic agreement on the transfer has been reached with Brentford. The focus now shifts to finalizing details of add-on clauses and payment structure.
United is expected to pay a £60 million base fee, with the total potentially rising to £65 million including performance-related bonuses. Mbeumo is currently awaiting Brentford's green light to undergo a medical at United and finalize personal terms. If processes proceed smoothly, he could join United's pre-season training camp starting July 7.
Elsewhere, United players including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Alejandro Garnacho are all available for transfer this summer. Barcelona has enquired about Rashford's situation but favours a loan deal, which would likely require United to subsidize part of the England international's wages to make the agreement feasible.
Rashford has been following a personal training regimen during his holiday and intends to report to Carrington for pre-season if a transfer does not materialize in the coming weeks. The 26-year-old's future remains in flux, with Barça's financial constraints dictating their preference for a short-term loan rather than a permanent move.
