Purchased cheap, sold expensive, mbeumo can be the next big success of Brentford!

Gilabola.com – Brentford is likely to return to the miracle of his transfer business. This time, the name Bryan Mbeumo was in the spotlight.

The Frenchman reportedly had chosen Manchester United as the next destination, and the Red Devils were preparing an agreement to bring him to Old Trafford.

If this transfer is realized, Mbeumo will add a long list of players purchased cheap, formed into stars, then sold with big profits by Brentford. He was brought from Troyes in 2019 with a price of around £ 5.4 million, and is now reportedly ready to be released with a value of £ 60 million.

BMW trio and success traces of the predecessors of Mbeumo

Mbeumo is part of the legendary front line trio of Brentford known as “BMW” – Bryan, Saïd Benrahma, and Ollie Watkins. This trio brought The Bees to the 2020 Final Play-Off Championship, although it finally lost to Fulham.

Benrahma joined West Ham in 2020 through a loan scheme which was then permanent in 2021 with a total value of around £ 25 million. Brentford itself only paid £ 2.7 million to bring it from Nice.

Although staying digadang will shine, its performance in East London is not too prominent, with 15 league goals in four seasons before moving to Lyon.

Watkins becomes a clearer success story. He was sold to Aston Villa in 2020 with a dowry of £ 33 million, after being imported only for £ 1.8 million from Exeter. In the Premier League, Watkins immediately appeared stunning, scored 14 goals in the debut season, became the club’s top scorer, then won the Premier League Playmaker of the Season 2023/24 thanks to 13 assists, and now holding Villa’s top scorer records at EPL.

From Toney to Raya: Brentford path to profit

After Watkins left, Brentford recruited Ivan Toney from Peterborough at a price of £ 6 million. Toney scored a lot of goals and became the backbone of the club in the Premier League, before finally being sold to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia last summer for £ 40 million.

In the Middle East, Toney still performed sharply with 23 goals in 30 matches and was called to the England national team by Thomas Tuchel.

Before all that, Brentford had scored a big profit through Neal Maupay, who came from Saint-Etienne for £ 1.6 million, then sold to Brighton worth £ 20 million after an extraordinary season with 28 goals.

One more great success story is David Raya. The Spanish goalkeeper was recruited from Blackburn for £ 3 million, then sold to Arsenal for £ 30 million and immediately appeared as the main goalkeeper, even won the Golden Glove Premier League this season.

Some other names that are also financially successful for Brentford:

• Ezri Cononsa: Purchased from Charlton for £ 2.5 million, sold to Aston Villa for £ 12 million, now the pillars of the British team and national team players.
• Chris Mepham: Join free, sold to Bournemouth £ 12 million, now contributes to carrying sunderland promotions.
• Andre Gray: Purchased from Luton Town for £ 1.1 million, released to Burnley £ 9 million.
  Scott Hogan: Recruited from Rochdale worth £ 750,000, then sold to Aston Villa £ 12 million.

Brentford business machine never dies!

If Bryan Mbeumo officially joined Manchester United, Brentford once again proved that they were not only clubs with a great player development system, but also a very efficient business power.

The strategy of buying is cheap, forming character and quality, then selling at the top price of the London club.

With Mbeumo heading to a giant club like United, Brentford again gave lessons: Success in the field could be different forms – not just a trophy, but also the clarity of long -term vision.
