Liverpool will look to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo
Liverpool remain keen on signing Brentford’s versatile forward Bryan Mbeumo, even after Mohamed Salah committed his future to the club with a new two-year contract. The Merseyside giants appear eager to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Mbeumo, 25, has been a standout performer for Brentford since joining the club, making 237 appearances and contributing significantly with 68 goals and 49 assists. His pace, technical skill, and ability to play across the front line have made him an attractive option for several top clubs, but Liverpool have emerged as the most serious suitor.
Prior to Salah’s contract renewal, Liverpool had reportedly identified Mbeumo as a potential successor to the Egyptian forward, whose future had been the subject of intense speculation. However, according to The Sun, Salah’s decision to remain at Anfield has not cooled Liverpool’s interest in Mbeumo. Club officials still view the Cameroon international as a valuable addition who could offer depth and flexibility in the final third.
Mbeumo’s international career, though still developing, has shown promise. He has earned 18 caps for Cameroon and scored four goals, showcasing his potential on the global stage. His performances in both domestic and international competitions have drawn praise for his work ethic, creativity, and ability to impact games at crucial moments.
Euro Football Rumours
Despite Liverpool’s interest, Brentford are playing hardball in negotiations. The West London club reportedly values Mbeumo at no less than €60 million and is unwilling to entertain lower offers. Brentford’s firm stance reflects both the player’s importance to their setup and the rising market value of top-tier attacking talents.
For Liverpool, the pursuit of Mbeumo seems to align with their long-term strategy of refreshing the squad while maintaining depth and competitiveness across all competitions. With Salah, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo already in the mix, the addition of Mbeumo would give to Liverpool’s manager a wealth of attacking options and allow for greater squad rotation.
There’s also a sense that Liverpool are planning for the future. Salah, now 32, remains a world-class talent but won’t be at his peak forever. By bringing in a younger, proven Premier League performer like Mbeumo, Liverpool would be securing a transition plan that maintains their attacking potency for years to come.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will meet Brentford’s valuation or attempt to negotiate a lower fee. Either way, the interest in Bryan Mbeumo signals Liverpool’s intent to stay at the top by continuing to invest in high-quality, versatile players.
With both clubs standing firm—Liverpool in their pursuit, Brentford in their demands—this transfer saga could be one of the more intriguing stories of the summer window.
