Johan Bakayoko is also a target for Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. |
According to Sky Sports , Mbeumo considers Spurs a more attractive destination than Manchester United. Although the "Red Devils" were confident of having the upper hand in recruiting the Brentford right-winger. However, coach Ruben Amorim must consider alternative options after Tottenham Hotspur made a record offer for the player.
After Thomas Frank joined Spurs, his priority was to reunite with his former student Mbeumo at Brentford. Therefore, Tottenham's board immediately offered Brentford more than £60 million to buy Mbeumo.
The possibility of the "Red Devils" losing this target to Tottenham is very high, especially when they do not participate in the Champions League next season. Therefore, Amorim and the MU scouting team are monitoring the case of PSV Eindhoven striker Johan Bakayoko.
With Bakayoko's contract with PSV only having one year left, Manchester United could own the Belgian star for an affordable price, around 17 million pounds. In the 2024/25 season, Bakayoko scored 12 goals and assisted 3 times, helping PSV win the Dutch championship and shine in the Champions League.
PSV are also willing to sell players early this summer to avoid losing them for free next year. Another advantage for MU in this deal is the good relationship between Ruud van Nistelrooy and Bakayoko. The former striker and Manchester United assistant coach worked with Bakayoko at PSV. It was "Van Gol" who brought Bakayoko to the first team in 2022.
While still leading PSV, Nistelrooy once commented on Bakayoko: "He has strength and shoots well. His style of controlling the ball makes you forget that Bakayoko is very young." Nistelrooy is said to have advised Bakayoko to play for Manchester United to develop his full potential.
