Newcastle's initial bid of £35m plus £5m in add-ons for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa was rejected. One source claims Newcastle may need to increase an offer to around £60m, while another reports Brentford are holding out for about £50m. Wissa, 28, has been a prolific scorer and recently refused to attend training, indicating a desire to leave. Brentford endured a difficult summer with departures of manager Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard. Brentford will be reluctant to sell Wissa but may accept a lower fee over time. Newcastle view Wissa as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak.
According to Alex Crook of talkSPORT in a recent post on X, Newcastle might have to improve their offer to as much as 60m to have a realistic chance of signing Wissa. However, a new update from Football Insider states that Brentford are instead holding out for more like 50m. Bid rejected. No surprise. As exclusively revealed on Monday #BrentfordFC say they will only sell for 60m. @JacobsBen @talkSPORT https://t.co/Ri3NGCKwUM Alex Crook ??? (@alex_crook) August 20, 2025
Wissa has been a prolific scorer for Brentford and he's not a player they'll want to lose, especially after what has already been a difficult summer. Manager Thomas Frank left the club to take over at Tottenham, while Bryan Mbeumo was snapped up by Manchester United and Christian Norgaard made the move to Arsenal. It would be a huge blow to lose Wissa as well, but they might not have much choice as they won't want to keep an unhappy player.
