New transfer bid and Isak saga
Newcastle submit a 35m bid for Wissa plus add-ons as Isak's future remains unsettled and Liverpool watch closely.
Newcastle table a £35m bid plus add-ons for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa amid ongoing questions over Alexander Isak’s future.
Newcastle push for Wissa as Isak saga deepens
Newcastle United have submitted a new bid of £35m plus add-ons for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. The deal could rise to £40m if add-ons are triggered. This follows Brentford turning down a £25m offer earlier in the summer. Wissa was not involved in Brentford’s opening weekend defeat to Nottingham Forest, with club officials linking the absence to ongoing transfer talk.
Brentford have already seen Bryan Mbeumo move to Manchester United for £71m, captain Christian Norgaard leave for Arsenal, and their former head coach Thomas Frank depart to Tottenham. Wissa was photographed training with Brentford ahead of the home game against Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, Alexander Isak’s future remains unsettled amid a transfer stand-off. Newcastle say Isak is not for sale this summer, even as Liverpool pursued a bid around £110m that was rejected. Sky Sports has suggested that if Newcastle sign two forwards by the window’s end, Isak could depart; if only one is added, a tough decision would follow. The window remains tense as both sides hold firm.

factual
The bid signals a willingness to push the forward line despite still unresolved questions about Isak. It shows Newcastle balancing ambition with caution, edging toward a two‑striker plan while keeping room to adapt if Isak moves on. For Brentford, the move fits a business model that sometimes leans on selling talent to fund growth, but it raises questions about how the club preserves identity after a busy transfer period. The bigger arc is how the Premier League market is pricing forwards and testing trust between players, clubs, and fans as deadlines loom.
The situation underscores how transfer politics can shape on-pitch strategy. If Isak stays, Newcastle faces pressure to sanction a measured addition rather than a renewal of anger from fans over promises made. If Isak leaves, the club must act quickly to avoid a gap in goals and a stretched squad. Either way, the next days will test resolve, patience, and the price of ambition in a crowded window.
Highlights
- Money talks louder than promises in the transfer market
- Two forwards could fix a plan but not a future
- The window will test trust between players and clubs
- Fans watch the numbers as closely as the players
transfer window financial and reputational risk
The deal dynamics touch budget, player trust, and fan reaction. A rapid rise in forward prices and high-stake public statements increase the risk of missteps. If Isak leaves or a big bid triggers instability, the club may face pressure from supporters and investors.
The next steps will reveal how far the market is willing to push in pursuit of immediate impact.
