Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo appears increasingly likely to leave the club this summer, following a standout Premier League campaign that has placed him firmly on the radar of Europe’s elite.
The 25-year-old Cameroon international delivered an impressive return of 18 goals across 35 league appearances this season, cementing his reputation as one of the top-performing attackers in English football.
His form has not gone unnoticed, with several clubs reportedly preparing bids for the dynamic winger.
Sources close to the club have confirmed that Brentford are willing to entertain offers in the region of €60 million for Mbeumo, whose current contract runs until June 2027.
While no deal has yet been finalised, the club’s openness to negotiations signals a shift in stance and may mark the end of Mbeumo’s five-year stay in West London.
Speaking candidly about the prospect of his departure, Bees captain Christian Nørgaard acknowledged that Mbeumo could soon move on.
“I think Bryan will probably leave the club,” he admitted. “As for [Yoane] Wissa, I’m not sure. We all hope he continues. In any case, I’m happy with their season. They fully deserve it.”
Mbeumo, who joined Brentford in 2019 from French side Troyes, has developed into a key figure under manager Thomas Frank. Known for his pace, creativity, and eye for goal, he played an instrumental role in Brentford’s successful bid to remain in the Premier League this season, forming a potent attacking partnership that helped the club maintain its top-flight status.
While Brentford are understood to be reluctant to part with one of their standout players, the club also recognises the commercial and sporting realities of modern football.
A transfer fee in the region of €60 million would represent a record sale for the Bees, potentially providing funds for reinforcements ahead of the next campaign.
The Cameroonian’s stock has risen steadily over the past two seasons, especially following the absence of Ivan Toney due to suspension earlier in the campaign, which placed additional pressure on Mbeumo to deliver in the final third.
He responded with maturity and consistency, making decisive contributions throughout the season and winning praise for his leadership on the pitch.
Although Mbeumo has yet to publicly comment on his future, his performances have made him one of the most sought-after talents in the Premier League. Should a move materialise this summer, it would mark a new chapter for the player, who has matured significantly since arriving in England as a relatively unknown prospect.
Brentford, meanwhile, may be forced to recalibrate their attacking setup if Mbeumo departs, with the futures of other key forwards such as Yoane Wissa also uncertain. Despite the potential upheaval, the club remains confident in its recruitment strategy and long-term vision.
With the transfer window approaching, Mbeumo’s situation will likely be one of the major storylines for Brentford fans to follow. For now, the club and its supporters await developments as interest in their star forward continues to gather pace.
