Manchester United's second bid for Bryan Mbeumo, worth £62.5m, has been rejected by Brentford.
The improved offer from United is the same figure they paid for Wolves' Matheus Cunha.
United had already seen a bid worth £55m rejected. Talks between the two sides are continuing with Mbeumo wanting to join the Old Trafford club.
Sky Sports News revealed earlier this month that Spurs have also held initial talks with Brentford for the 25-year-old.
Mbeumo is understood to be intrigued by Spurs, who have just appointed his former boss Thomas Frank, but one source has told Sky Sports News that he is leaning towards United.
Mbeumo is a player United have admired for a while, and he is seen as a good fit for Ruben Amorim's system.
There is a feeling at Brentford that Mbeumo has earned the chance to move to a bigger club this summer if one meets his valuation.
What do the stats say?
Sky Sports Data Editor Adam Smith:
Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season to help Brentford secure a top-half finish - only three players scored more.
He also notched seven assists but should have registered more, clocking a league-topping 9.26 expected assists during the campaign, primarily from delivering a table-topping 202 crosses.
Additionally, only two players covered more distance or attempted more sprints for the season, making him one of the hardest grafters in the league. He also provides serious pace, clocking the fourth-fastest speed at 36.63 km/h.
Only Mohamed Salah collected more form points than Mbeumo last term, according to the Sky Sports Power Rankings.
Factoring in decisive goals or assists that changed the outcomes of games, his 27 goal contributions earned Brentford 22 points, equating to 40 per cent of the Bees' season tally.
Sky Sports to show 215 live PL games from next season
From next season, Sky Sports' Premier League coverage will increase from 128 matches to at least 215 games exclusively live.
And 80 per cent of all televised Premier League games next season are on Sky Sports.

too huge money but you want to spend in another player, that will make people criticised you again, there's good young strikers at 40, 50, 30, that can score, 14+ goals in first season, leave Europe, go check to South America also, there's young players who can do much better in Europe

You want to talk about Bryan with me? he is my fellow country man and check on his fifa rating and you'll understand that you're insane. I've been in a stressing room so I don't argue football with people but rather share because I can also make a mistake.

But those idiots of Brentford are really complicating the deal for Mbeumo, how much are valuing that guy really? Mbeumo realistically has to be valued at around £35M to 40M but not more than £50 M Brentford is just crazy on man United, if it was another team that needed Mbeumo they would have asked for not more than £40M but when comes to United it's really trouble

No one will come for him anymore bcuz Tottenham is watching how things is going and it's a hard card for any team to play so keep your player and he will go for free next summer..... After getting more than your evaluation then you still reject the offer.

This is BS. At this point Man U should walk away and focus on putting that money in to getting a decent striker. We still have Amad to run that wing. Hell, we can even work on Antony to bring him up to standard.

Kamaldeen Sulemana of Southampton can play more than Mbeumo. Atlanta has agreed to pay just 20m euro for him to replace Ademola Lookman. Useless man utd management is just wasting time with those criminal EPL teams who just like exploiting there fellow clubs. Man utd should forget about the deal and go for cheap right winger from south America league for 15m euro
