The first bid by the Reds is thought to see \u00a345m paid up front with a further \u00a310m accumulated through add-ons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Still, this figure is believed to be below what the Bees were expecting but talks shall continue between the two clubs. While Mbeumo mainly played as a right-sided winger last season, he did feature as a centre-forward for the London club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">While United are firmly locked in negotiations with Brentford, another rumoured target looks to be closing in on a move to the Saudi Pro League. <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/victor-osimhen\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"OsimhenLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Osimhen<\/a> has been heavily linked with the Reds as they aim to add a striker to their ranks this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, after being snubbed by <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/bruno-fernandes\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Bruno FernandesLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, Al Hilal are now energised to bring in the Nigerian who could be an option for United if a deal with Mbeumo cannot be struck. According to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JacobsBen\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Ben JacobsLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\">Ben Jacobs<\/a>, Osimhen is in talks with Al Hilal after receiving a formal proposal from them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">It is believed the Saudis would be willing to pay his \u00a363m asking price but having been burnt by Fernandes, have set a tight deadline. They want to know if Osimhen is willing to join by June 10 so that he meets the first mini deadline of the transfer window and would be able to accompany them to this month&#8217;s Club World Cup in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Osimhen is now believed to be Al Hilal&#8217;s top target ahead of the tournament. The concern for <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"United Link opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">United <\/a>is that they will not be able to offer the same wages as the Saudi club which means they would have to rely solely on their pull to get the deal done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The Nigerian centre-forward did not leave Napoli last summer because he was uninterested in a move to the Saudi Pro League. It remains to be seen if he keeps that stance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8212;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/all-about\/manchester-united-fc\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
