Liverpool has learned the price Brentford will demand for Cameroonian forward Bryan Mbeumo in the upcoming summer transfer window. Brentford has set a significant valuation for Mbeumo, who garnered attention with his performances during the 2023/24 season, particularly in the absence of Ivan Toney due to suspension. With nine goals and six assists in 22 starts in the English Premier League, Mbeumo has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool.

Reports suggest that Liverpool, along with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, have expressed interest in the 24-year-old forward. Brentford, however, has already established a firm asking price, reportedly around $63 million (£50m/€58m), to consider parting ways with Mbeumo.

The player himself has addressed the possibility of a transfer, expressing his desire to compete in top competitions and join elite clubs. Mbeumo, who has spent five seasons at Brentford, acknowledges the club’s role in his development but is attracted to the prospect of playing for bigger teams.

Operating predominantly on the right wing, Mbeumo shares similarities with Mohamed Salah’s playing style, making him a potential replacement as Salah approaches the final year of his contract with Liverpool. Mbeumo acknowledges areas for improvement in his game, emphasizing the importance of continuous development both on and off the pitch, including working with a sports coach and utilizing virtual reality programs to enhance cognitive abilities.
