Brentford are in “constant dialogue” with forward Bryan Mbeumo and it is “not impossible” he will stay, says director of football Phil Giles.<\/b><\/p>\n
Cameroon international Mbeumo is the subject of serious interest from Manchester United, who have had two offers for the striker rejected<\/a> – the second of which was worth up to \u00a362.5m.<\/p>\n Mbeumo, 25, wants to join United and is understood to have told the west London club that.<\/p>\n Speaking on Monday, Giles told BBC Sport there had been “not so much” progress regarding a potential deal.<\/p>\n “He had a fantastic season,” he said. “We expected big interest in him, we have had big interest in him.<\/p>\n “He has his ideas about where he wants to take his career. He is well within his rights to do that.<\/p>\n “It is not impossible he is still a Brentford player next season if we agree he is going to stay.”<\/p>\n Giles said Mbeumo would only be sold if it was “the right deal” for Brentford.<\/p>\n “Any club will tell you that,” he added. “If it’s not right deal, why would we do it?<\/p>\n “He is certainly one of our best players, if not our best player, and we need our best players. There’s no harm in keeping your best players.”<\/p>\n
