The DR Congo international was left out of the squad for Brentford's recent loss to Nottingham Forest, indicating that the team is looking for a replacement before allowing him to leave. Newcastle has made a new offer for Wissa, but it falls short of Brentford's asking price of £60 million.
Newcastle's bid, which includes an additional £5 million, has been rejected by Brentford. The club has not given its asking price to anyone else, and it's clear that they are determined to secure a better offer for Wissa. Wissa has scored 49 goals in 149 appearances for Brentford and will likely not feature for the team again as he pushes for a move to Newcastle.
The situation is similar to that of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who may secure a move to Liverpool if the deal is confirmed. For now, Newcastle must improve their bid to match Brentford's asking price of £60 million if they want to secure Wissa's services.
