Manchester United Targeting Mbeumo
Manchester United are making moves too. After two failed bids, they are preparing a third offer for Bryan Mbeumo worth £62.5 million. The striker reportedly prefers a move to United.
They are also interested in Emiliano MartÃnez, the Aston Villa goalkeeper. MartÃnez, a two-time Yashin Trophy winner, is valued at around £45 million. Chelsea are in the race for him too.
Brentford Set to Lose Key Players
Brentford are negotiating with Feyenoord to sign Antoni Milambo, a talented midfielder. This comes as Brentford prepare for life without Christian Norgaard and Bryan Mbeumo, both set to leave. Milambo could be a solid addition for the Bees.

Tottenham admire Bryan Mbeumo but deny making an offer. New coach Thomas Frank likes the player, but Spurs haven’t moved yet.
Liverpool are not ready to pay £45 million for Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Chelsea are open to letting go of goalkeepers to make space for a new signing.
