Mbeumo is a top target for several clubs, including Manchester United. However, Newcastle's offer is said to be in the region of £50 million, which is considered a fair price for his consistent performance in the Premier League over the years. According to reports, the club's manager Eddie Howe has been informed that the necessary funding is in place, and the pursuit of Mbeumo is "good to go".

Newcastle may have an advantage in signing Mbeumo due to the potential for regular playing time under manager Eddie Howe. This could be an attractive prospect for the player, who may prefer to join a team where he can contribute more regularly. Meanwhile, Manchester United is also targeting other players, including Wolverhampton Wanderers' forward Matheus Cunha and Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.
