Subject: Re: Yoane Wissa update regarding his potential transfer from Brentford to Newcastle United
Key Information & Main Themes:
This is a briefing summarising the current state of play with Brentford’s Yoane Wissa and a rejected $13.3 million bid from Newcastle United that has been lodged for his services. The general gist is that Wissa wants to come to Brentford, Brentford don’t want to sell, negotiations continue.
Most Important Ideas/Facts:
Newcastle United’s bid rejected Newcastle United’s initial bid of £25m for Yoane Wissa has been rejected by Brentford.
“Brinford have rejected a 25 million pounds offer from Yoan Whistler”, the source said.
Expectations of More Bids: Despite the rejection, Newcastle is anticipated to make another offer.
The source adds: “It is thrown out, but we expect Newcastle to come again”.
Transfer Rumours Direct talks remain ongoing between Newcastle United and Brentford.
‘Straight up talks between two teams’ on Magpies’ signing – Despite the announcement, waiting weeks to complete the Yoan Whistler signing may not be the best idea, according to the latest report, as Newcastle was linked to the player. According to the original report, it’s not the normal situation – ‘direct talks between the two clubs’ – but where have Newcastle been in the past decade? Source says ‘direct talks remain between both clubs’ and that ‘talks remain between Newcastle United and Brentford over a fee for Yo Whistler’.
Wissa To Quit: Yoane Wissa says he is desperate to leave Brentford and find Champions League football.
Wissa “flew back from Brenford’s preseason camp in Portugal to talk to clubs about his future and has returned to London”.
He “doesn’t want to turn down the chance of playing Champions League football and he’s informed Brenford that he’s open to moving to Newcastle”.
“The player is insistent that he sees his future now away from Brenford”.
Brentford’s Resistance to Selling: Brentford want to keep hold of Wissa and does not want to sell him this transfer window.
The source (I dunno about the reputation, though) explicitly says “Brenford don’t want to sell the player,,,,äh in this window”
They are also reluctant, not in the wake of the recent departures from the club, “just lost Brian and Boom” as well as “lost their manager of ccourseThomas Frank joining Tottenham”.
Player bio: Yoane Wissa is 28 years old and just entered the last year of his 20s this September.
Summary:
Brentford have turned down Newcastle United’s first offer of £25m for Yoane Wissa. But according to our sister website footballlondon, Wissa is determined to leave Brentford to play in the Champions League – and he has told his club that is the case. Brentford are keen to keep hold, especially in light of other recent player and managerial exits, but discussions continue between the two clubs, and a fresh offer from Newcastle is expected.
