A lot has been written about Newcastle United’s transfer pursuit for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, and there’s been a further update.The Magpies have previously seen a bid of £35m plus £5m in add-ons rejected by the Bees, but they might not be that far away from meeting the player’s valuation.According to Alex Crook of talkSPORT in a recent post on X, Newcastle might have to improve their offer to as much as £60m to have a realistic chance of signing Wissa.However, a new update from Football Insider states that Brentford are instead holding out for more like £50m.Bid rejected. No surprise. As exclusively revealed on Monday #BrentfordFC say they will only sell for £60m. @JacobsBen @talkSPORT https://t.co/Ri3NGCKwUM— Alex Crook ???
