Manchester United’s pursuit of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has hit a roadblock after their £55 million bid was rejected. The offer, consisting of £45 million guaranteed plus £10 million in bonuses, fell short of Brentford’s valuation, which exceeds £60 million. Talks between the clubs remain ongoing, with United keen to strengthen their attacking options.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has dismissed an approach from Barcelona for winger Luis Diaz. Despite interest from the Spanish giants, Liverpool remains firm in their stance, unwilling to part ways with the Colombian star. Diaz has been a key figure for the Reds, and the club sees him as an integral part of their future plans.
As the transfer window heats up, both clubs face crucial decisions regarding their squads. United continues negotiations for Mbeumo, while Liverpool stands firm in retaining Diaz, ensuring stability ahead of the upcoming season.
