Newcastle is going to offer £35 million for Yoane Wisa, but Brentford is still set on not selling

Newcastle United is stepping up their efforts to increase their offensive options and is getting ready to make a new £35 million approach for DR Congo forward Yoane Wissa.

Since moving from Lorient to Brentford in 2021, the 28-year-old has been an outstanding player for the Bees, turning heads with his speed, adaptability, and goal-scoring ability. The Magpies are keen to get a replacement in the event that Isak departs, and their interest in him has been piqued by his Premier League performance.

After an earlier proposal was rejected, sources indicate Newcastle is prepared to make a better offer. However, Brentford is determined that they would not approve Wissa’s exit until they have found a suitable replacement. Given that the team is committed to retaining their Premier League standing, the DR Congo international is seen by the bees as an essential member of the squad.

However, Newcastle is still optimistic that Wissa might be convinced to leave, as the midfielder is allegedly amenable to the idea of playing football in Europe and competing at the top level.

The upcoming weeks are anticipated to be pivotal, as Newcastle is keen to complete a deal before rival teams enter the competition and Brentford is under pressure to bolster before contemplating a sell.
