The situation regarding the future of Congolese striker Yoane Wissa, currently at English club Brentford, is becoming increasingly complicated due to disagreements between his current club and Newcastle United over a potential transfer.According to several sources, including French outlet L’Équipe, Saudi club Neom, recently promoted to the Saudi Pro League, is closely monitoring the situation and has shown a keen interest in signing the player during the upcoming transfer window.
According to information shared by journalist Ben Jacobs on his “X” account, Wissa has refused to train with Brentford, expressing his frustration with the club’s stance. He expected to leave Brentford for around £26 million, based on an informal agreement between both parties.Negotiations between Newcastle and Brentford have become more complicated, especially after Newcastle increased their bid to over £30 million—a proposal that Brentford’s management ultimately rejected, firmly closing the door on Wissa’s departure.Wissa is eager to take on a new challenge with a team qualified for the Champions League, a goal he believes is achievable by joining a club like Newcastle.
