Manchester United s 55 million yuan bid for Mbemo was rejected, and Brentford insisted on a high price! The reason why Drapp was missing is revealed
2:40pm, 5 June 2025Football
According to David Ornstein, an authoritative transfer expert of "Sports Network", Manchester United has issued the first offer for Brentford for Brian Mbemo, worth £55 million. It is said that the specific amount of this bid is a fixed amount of £45 million, plus a floating clause of £10 million, but the transfer offer was immediately rejected.
There is no doubt that Manchester United can't buy Mbemo at this price, and the amount is much lower than the cost of Brentford considering selling Cameroon international forwards. The "Bees" want £60 million, and it is a sure amount that can be obtained, not including the floating amount.
However, negotiations between the two sides are still in progress. According to British media, Manchester United may consider meeting Mbemo's £250,000 weekly salary requirement, thus requiring him to put pressure on Brentford to lower the transfer fee. Mbemo, 25, has a one-year contract with the club, but has the option to extend it for 12 months. He does not want to break up with his old club who has been working with for seven years. The prerequisite for prioritizing transfers to Manchester United is that the two clubs reach an agreement.
Mbemo mainly plays on the right and is competent in the middle. He joined from Ligue 1 Troyes in 2019, scored 70 goals in 242 games and had 51 assists. He is known as the "Mini Salah".
Mbemo scored 20 goals in the Premier League this season and had 8 assists, so his agent believes that his income should be no less than Cunha signed by Manchester United £62.5 million, whose Premier League goals are 15 goals; at the same time, Brentford also believes that the price of his own players is not reasonably lower than Wolves No. 10, especially knowing that Amorin currently has limited forward candidates, they will adopt a tough negotiation stance.
Manchester United's new No. 9 first choice in the summer window, Liam Drapp officially announced his joining Chelsea on Wednesday. The 22-year-old England striker left Ipswich and signed with Stamford Bridge for six years after the Blues activated the £30 million liquidated damages clause. Athletics said half of the Premier League teams, as well as European Juventus, AC Milan and Bayern Munich, were interested in him, but he eventually turned down Manchester United and other teams to choose Chelsea.
Drapp Jr. is one of the most cost-effective players in European football this summer. Ipswich spent £20 million to introduce him last year. So Sir Jim Ratcliff has reason to regret missing out on the transfer, with Manchester United having negotiated face to face with him on May 19. Amorin promised that once Drapp joined, he would become the starting center and he had the key characteristics of the No. 9 player he wanted. Jason Wilcox, who had just been promoted to football director, met Drapp when he was a youth training supervisor at Manchester City.
Someone inside Manchester United is worried that Drapp will be "England Hoylund", but the biggest difference between the two is the transfer fee, so Manchester United is indeed trying to sign him and is the most interested team. But the decision is in the hands of the players, he has a lot of choices and ultimately rejects the Red Devils' offer. Chelsea have always been full of confidence. They have a good relationship with Ipswich and have traded Omari Hutchinson last season. Ipswich also hopes to loan the Blues young forward Mark Giu, who has established a connection with the Chelsea coaching staff as a replacement for Drapp compared to Manchester United's management. Head coach Enzo Maresca worked with Drapp when he was 16 years old, when he was the coach of Manchester City's U23 youth team, which won the Premier League preparatory championship in the 2020/21 season, with Drapp scoring 24 goals in 20 games, including three hat tricks. After joining Chelsea, Drapp said: "I understand the structure of the club and the development trajectory of the players and coaches."
is not only the head coach, but also the former Manchester City youth coach Van der Crane, but now he holds a similar position at Chelsea. Joe Shields, the youth training director when Manchester City signed Drapp from the Derby County youth training system in 2019, is now Chelsea's transfer manager. Another familiar face is Chelsea’s scout director Andrew Cousins, who loaned Drapp from Manchester City when he was head of Stoke City football. Chelsea also has several Manchester City youth training teammates in the team, such as Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia.
Chelsea is also eager to get a new center. After Burley joined the club, they spent 1.5 billion pounds to buy people, but they could only use Jacquesson to play the main striker. Drapp may face greater competition at Stamford Bridge, but the team plays more, and he will definitely get plenty of opportunities to play. Chelsea is very young, midfielder Kessetdo and core Palmer are only 23 years old, Enzo Fernandez is 24 years old, and captain Rees James is already a "veteran" at the age of 25. In contrast, Manchester United's nuclear Bruno Fernandez is over thirty years old.
Not only that, Chelsea can play in the Champions League, although this is not the main factor for Drapp to choose the team, it is definitely a plus. Manchester United has been a black hole for talented players in the past few years. Compared with the Red Devils, Chelsea's environment is more stable. Under the conditions, there is no suspense about the player's choice.
