Brentford are on the verge of securing a significant transfer coup, having reached a broad agreement to sign 20-year-old Feyenoord attacking midfielder Antoni Milambo, according to The Mirror. The deal, which has been in negotiations for approximately two months, is reportedly worth an initial £17 million, with an additional £4.25 million in performance-related bonuses, bringing the potential total to £21.25 million.
Milambo, a highly-rated talent in Dutch football, has caught the attention of the Premier League side with his versatility, creativity, and composure in midfield. The young Dutchman, known for his ability to dictate play and contribute in the final third, represents an exciting addition as Brentford continue their strategy of investing in promising young players.
The transfer aligns with Brentford’s reputation for astute recruitment, having previously unearthed gems like Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo. Milambo’s potential move to the Gtech Community Stadium could see him follow in the footsteps of other Eredivisie talents who have thrived in the Premier League.
While final details are still being ironed out, the agreement marks a statement of intent from Brentford as they look to bolster their squad for the 2025/26 season.
