Brentford Stalemate: Wissa Refuses Training, Seeks Champions League Move

Striker Frustrated With Club After Rejected Transfer Bid

The future of Brentford striker Yoane Wissa is in limbo as negotiations with Newcastle United reach a standstill, leaving the Congolese forward frustrated and refusing to train.

Wissa has his sights set on a move to a Champions League club, believing Newcastle offers that opportunity. He reportedly expected to leave Brentford for around £26 million, based on an informal agreement between both parties. However, Newcastle's increased bid of over £30 million was rejected by Brentford management, effectively shutting the door on Wissa's departure.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Wissa is disappointed with Brentford's stance, feeling they have broken their pact allowing him to leave for the initially agreed-upon sum. This frustration has led Wissa to refuse training with the club.

Saudi Interest Adds Another Layer

Adding further complexity to the situation, newly promoted Saudi Pro League club Neom SC is reportedly monitoring Wissa's situation closely and expressing interest in signing the player during the upcoming transfer window.
