Brentford’s football director Phil Giles said Bryan Mbeumo would be happy to stay at the club if an agreement cannot be agreed with Manchester United.

The two clubs had interviews, and Mbeumo would prefer a decision to Old Trafford despite an additional interest in Tottenham, who appointed his former boss, Thomas Frank.

Sky Sports News Understands that Brentford wants more than 65 million pounds sterling for Mbeumo and United has so far offered a package of 62.5 million pounds sterling.

Speak exclusively at Sky Sports NewsGiles explained that there was an agreement to do; However, it must be “fair” for Brentford.

“There is a significant interest in Bryan. His current preference has been well published,” said Giles.

“He had an incredible season, and we expected me to understand what I understand, it is also, if necessary, happy to stay in Brentford next year as well.

“We spoke to Bryan and its representatives. It is not obvious that he will leave this summer.

“If we get the right offer, there is the potential of a case to do, but there is only little that we can say now on this subject.”

Andrews: Mbeumo stay is the ideal scenario

Speaking for the first time since he took the bar at Brentford, Keith Andrews echoed Giles on Mbeumo’s position, saying that it would be “ideal” if the attacker had to stay.

“It’s a massive boost if it remains,” said Andrews.

“He’s such a talented player. Someone I liked to work with, I worked closely with him last season around the sets, which will be the ideal scenario.

“I want the most talented players in the building. I understand very well how football and this football club work with regard to transfers, but in the end, I want the best building players.”

Sky Sports News Understands that Brentford captain Christian Norgaard should have a medical person this week after Arsenal has entered into an agreement of 15 million pounds sterling with bees to sign the midfielder last week. Andrews praised the Danish midfielder before an “incredible movement” for the 31 -year -old.

“Of course, we will miss it,” said Andrews.

“It is a decision for him that would be incredible to go to a club of this magnitude and to play football in the Champions League. I would miss it as a person because I really appreciate it.

“Christian is essential in the recent history of the football club; he has worn the armband for years. He is someone I admire, really understands his quality and what he brings both on the field and off the field.”

The potential departure of the imminent move of Mbeumo and Norgaard in northern London will leave Brentford with gaps to fill their team. Asked if the club turns to the market to strengthen the positions, Andrews said:

“These are always players in the building for me; this must be the priority. There are now players in the building who have a great range to launch at new levels. I firmly believe that and the club has also demonstrated each season, if the players leave, the players will come and the confidence I have in this department is very strong.”
