The Premier League could be in a fierce tug-of-war this summer, with Liverpool and Newcastle United signing Brian Mbemo for £50m.
This is a report by talkSPORT, which claims:
According to talkSPORT, Newcastle United is one of the clubs targeting Brentford's Brentford.
The striker was valued at £50 million by the West London side…
Before Mohamed Salah signed a new contract with Liverpool, the club was told to consider using Mbemo as a potential replacement for the Egyptian player.
Although Newcastle United is considered more capable of signing the highly acclaimed 24-year-old striker, other reports say Liverpool have been following him since last season, hoping he will be the successor to Mohamed Salah.
Mbemo is one of the best players in the league this season, scoring 18 goals and having six assists, playing a central role in Brentford’s climb to 11th place in the standings, which will be the second highest top-flight ranking in Brentford’s history.
His contract expires in 2026, and Brentford reserves the option to renew his contract for one year. But as often seen in West London teams, outstanding performance often leads to huge transfer fees.
Bee coach Thomas Frank accepted this reality, admitting that if someone offers "a suitable price", then "the club will be willing" to sell.
Brentford coach Frank was asked in an interview with Sky Sports whether Mbemo could leave, he did not downplay the possibility of Mbemo leaving.
"That's a good question. I'm the head coach and I hope my best player will stay on the team forever," he said.
I know Bryan is having fun in Brentford. He is in good shape, in good shape, and plays great.
"What will happen in the future? I don't know. I have said it many times, we are a sales club."
fans have seen similar situations before. Brentford has also parted ways with forwards such as Neil Mope, Oly Watkins and Ivan Tony, provided they get the right offer.
"If the price is right, and it will be expensive, I'm pretty sure the club will accept it."
When asked what the "right price" was, Frank simply replied, "A lot."
In addition to losing to Mbemo in the summer transfer window, Brentford had to prepare for the bid for Yoane Visa.
In the live broadcast of talkSPORT, Jason Cundy calls Mbemo a “mini version of Salah, attacking with his right hand and attacking with his left hand”, Jamie O'Hara praised the pair.

"They are too incredible. If they leave Europe, Mbemo and Visa will be top players by the end of the season."
Mbemo may only score four goals in five games left, tying the Brentford team record of 72 goals set by Ivan Tony, and at the same time he is only two goals less than Visa, becoming the Brentford Premier League top scorer.
