Omari Hutchinson is pushing to join Brentford as talks continue between the Bees and Ipswich Town over a permanent deal, according to TEAMtalk sources.
The England Under-21 winger is determined to stay in the Premier League following Ipswich’s relegation — and is confident Brentford will eventually meet his price tag.
Ipswich Reject Brentford’s Structured Bid
Brentford had submitted an offer meeting Hutchinson’s £35m release clause, but the proposal included incentives and performance-based clauses, which Ipswich refused.
That clause expired on July 15, meaning the Tractor Boys are no longer obligated to sell unless the deal meets their preferred structure — closer to £40m up front.
“Hutchinson is keen on the move, but Brentford must improve the structure of their bid,” reported TEAMtalk.

Brentford See Hutchinson as Mbeumo Replacement
Brentford are planning for life without Bryan Mbeumo, who is set to join Manchester United for an initial £65m, rising to £71m with add-ons.
Hutchinson is seen as the ideal long-term replacement and fits the club’s recruitment profile: young, technical, and with resale value.
Ipswich Ready to Sell Amid Summer Exodus
Ipswich spent £20m on Hutchinson last summer after his permanent switch from Chelsea. While his numbers were modest, the club view a sale as a strong return in a tough window.
They’ve already lost Liam Delap to Chelsea and expect more exits as they prepare for another Championship rebuild under Kieran McKenna.
Analyst Verdict: Logical Fit, Inevitable Deal?
Hutchinson wants London, Brentford want a winger, and Ipswich need cash. The only sticking point is the structure — and that’s likely to be resolved soon.
If Brentford return with a cleaner offer, expect a deal to go through before August.
Key Insights
- Omari Hutchinson wants to join Brentford and remain in the Premier League
- Ipswich rejected a structured £35m bid after the release clause expired
- Hutchinson is seen as the long-term replacement for Bryan Mbeumo
- Brentford are undergoing a major rebuild under new manager Keith Andrews

What’s Next for Brentford and Hutchinson?
The structure of the deal remains the only hurdle. Hutchinson wants the move, and Brentford have the money following Mbeumo’s exit.
A revised offer could see the England U21 international return to the Premier League — and give Brentford’s rebuild a much-needed spark.
Should Brentford go all-in to sign Hutchinson — or look elsewhere?
