Newcastle United have reached a verbal agreement to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford with a potential fee of up to 55 million. Brentford view the deal as a 55 million fixed fee while Newcastle consider it 50 million guaranteed plus add-ons to reach 55 million. The fee will be paid in two instalments, half immediately and half in 2026, and Brentford secured a 25% sell-on clause. Wissa has been granted permission to undergo a medical. Newcastle targeted Wissa to replace outgoing attackers and to add immediate firepower for domestic and European campaigns, with only final paperwork remaining.
The agreement marks a major step forward in Newcastle's pursuit of the Congolese international, who has been on their shortlist throughout the summer. The Athletic reports that Brentford view the transfer as a 55 million fixed fee, while Newcastle's stance frames it as 50 million guaranteed plus add-ons that would take the total to 55 million. The fee will be structured in two instalments, with half of the sum paid immediately and the remaining half scheduled for 2026.
As part of the package, Brentford have also secured a 25% sell-on clause, ensuring they will benefit if Newcastle decide to move Wissa on in the future. Wissa has now been granted permission to undergo his medical, a clear indication that the deal is progressing towards completion. The Brentford attacker was one of Newcastle's top transfer target all summer. With Nick Woltemade already signed, Newcastle wanted another attacker as they are about to lose Alexander Isak to Liverpool today,
The agreement to sign Wissa shows their determination to strengthen the squad after an inconsistent start to the campaign. Wissa will be tasked with providing immediate firepower and helping the Magpies maintain their ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. With the medical now scheduled and only final paperwork to be completed, Newcastle's pursuit of Wissa is edging closer to the finish line.
