UEFA Champions League
Brentford has made it clear that they are not willing to easily part ways with Yoane Wissa, who is on Newcastle United's transfer agenda this summer market. The Franco-Congolese forward is one of the best options for the English team to inherit Alexander Isak's position.
According to 'SkySports', the London club has rejected an offer of approximately 40 million euros made by the Magpies to acquire Wissa's services, a 28-year-old forward who has become a reference in the Premier League in recent seasons.
Brentford's refusal to negotiate reflects the importance that the Congolese attacker holds in Keith Andrews' system. Since his arrival from Lorient in 2021, Wissa has proven to be a player of great offensive impact, capable of providing goals, mobility, and intensity that have made him a key piece of the project. His ability to adapt to different roles in the attack makes him a highly sought-after profile in the winter market.
Newcastle's 40 Million Euro Rejected Offer
Meanwhile, Newcastle United is actively seeking offensive reinforcements to maintain their competitive level in the second half of the season. The team led by Eddie Howe understands the need for more depth upfront to sustain their aspirations in the English league and European competitions. In this strategy, Yoane Wissa emerged as a top priority target, but for now, the Magpies will have to continue exploring alternatives.
The rejection of this offer also hints at the ambition of the London club, which is reluctant to weaken itself midway through the season. Although the 40 million euros represented a substantial sum, the management believes that parting ways with their best forward could cost them more in terms of sporting achievements. Additionally, the player is under contract and has not publicly expressed a desire to leave the team, strengthening Brentford's position in any future negotiations.
It is worth noting that Yoane Wissa's name is not new in the agendas of top clubs. His performances in the Premier League have drawn interest from several entities looking for dynamism and scoring ability. However, not all teams are willing to pay such a high amount for a player who, despite his maturity and experience, still needs to demonstrate consistent leadership in an elite attack.
The transfer market still offers room for negotiation, and Newcastle United may insist with a new proposal in the coming weeks. However, Brentford's initial response sets a precedent: convincing them to sell their offensive gem will not be easy. Currently, the operation seems on hold, but surprises are always possible in English football.
With this move, the London club sends a clear message to the rest of the Premier League: they will not yield to economic pressure if it compromises their sporting project. Wissa will remain their main offensive reference, and Newcastle will have to reconsider their options in an increasingly competitive market.
