The biggest shockwave of the transfer window so far was caused by the signing of Florian Wirtz. And there may not be a bigger one in this transfer window, as Liverpool splashed out a staggering 125,000,000 euros. Once Hugo Ekitike lands at Anfield, their total spending will surpass 300 million. Anyone wanting to seriously compete with the champions will have to spend big. Everyone knows it—and so does Manchester United, which is why, in an effort to get even close to the top of English football—they’ve broken the bank and started showering domestic clubs with money.The wait is over. pic.twitter.com/hPQhyobOrB— Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 21, 2025 Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows exactly what needs to be done—he has to open up the wallet and overpay. There’s no other option at Old Trafford; they’re offering more than necessary—and will continue to do so. The spending spree is on, and now we have the second-biggest transfer so far. It’s not near Wirtz’s fee, but a hefty sum was still paid for Bryan Mbeumo: 75,000,000 fixed, and with bonuses, the transfer could rise to 82 million euros. The Cameroonian ace signed a five-year contract with an option for additional year. Manchester United tried to negotiate the price down—the saga around Bryan Mbeumo dragged on—but in the end, they gave in at the Theatre of Dreams. After 50 days, they met Brentford’s asking price. It’s not the first time they’ve had to reach deep into their pockets—and they have only themselves to blame.Cameroonian #3 is here: United & Mbeumo shake hands!Maybe Bryan Mbeumo will be a hit, maybe he’ll bring exactly what this fallen giant has been lacking—just like Matheus Cunha might—but neither of them is a proven top-level player, and together they’ve cost just under 150,000,000. That’s just the fixed amount. When you include left-back Diego Leon, the spending goes well over that total. Last season, Mbeumo scored 20 Premier League goals, the fourth highest in the league, and registered a further eight assists. Since Brentford’s promotion to the top flight, Mbeumo has averaged an impressive 18 goal contributions per season.“As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up. My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players. Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans, we are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies” he said for the club’s website.##NAJAVA_MECA_9023948##
