"They have Bryan Mbeumo, and the player is good enough for most sides, but I don't know if you can justify that transfer fee, Gallas said. They've spent an awful lot of money and not really changed too many of their first-choice XI. We're always talking about money these days, and I know the prices keep on rising every year, but come on. This seems crazy."
"BBC Sport reported that Noni Madueke's move from Chelsea to Arsenal was cheaper, at around 48.5m, though he didn't look nearly as good in the Premier League last year as Mbeumo did. Anthony Elanga is another similar style of player, but his move from Nottingham Forest to Newcastle was also cheaper at a reported 55m, as per BBC Sport. Tottenham new-boy Mohammed Kudus was also cheaper, also at around 55m, as per BBC Sports report at the time."
William Gallas criticised Manchester United's reported £65m signing of Bryan Mbeumo and questioned whether the fee can be justified. Bryan Mbeumo joined from Brentford in July for an initial reported £65m and has not made a strong start at Old Trafford. The club spent heavily without significantly altering its first-choice XI, prompting scrutiny over transfer value. Comparable summer transfers included Noni Madueke to Arsenal (~£48.5m), Anthony Elanga to Newcastle (~£55m), and Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham (~£55m). Rising transfer fees remain a prominent concern in the current market.
