Newcastle run into Brentford's wall despite ramping up their financial efforts.

How far will Brentford go to keep Yoane Wissa?

Yoane Wissa finds himself facing a total blockade from his club Brentford, who have turned down a new record offer from Newcastle United worth £40 million. The Magpies' latest bid included £35 million up front, plus an additional £5 million in bonuses.

Brentford’s management is standing firm in the face of Newcastle’s repeated overtures, having already rejected an initial £25 million bid earlier this summer. The Bees have not set an official asking price for their star forward, but their demands appear to far exceed the amounts tabled so far.

Newcastle ramp up the chase but Brentford dig in

Newcastle are relentless in their pursuit of the DR Congo international. After their initial £25 million offer was knocked back this summer, the Magpies upped their bid this week to £40 million including bonuses. Yet Brentford remain unmoved, and according to some sources, are now demanding more than €60 million to part ways with their top scorer.

Transfer window closing in, Yoane Wissa growing increasingly frustrated

The arrival of Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a club-record €43 million has done nothing to break the deadlock. Signed on a five-year deal with an optional extra year, the Burkinabe was expected to pave the way for Wissa’s departure, but Brentford are holding their ground.

With the summer transfer window drawing to a close and the outcome of this saga still up in the air, the Congolese forward is finding the situation increasingly difficult as he remains sidelined while the Premier League season is already underway. On Tyneside, the urgency is mounting as Newcastle look to bolster their attacking options, particularly with the uncertainty surrounding Alexander Isak. The Magpies may be forced to return with an improved offer to try to convince Brentford to part ways with their striker—or else look elsewhere for reinforcements.
