Yoane Wissa might not make the move to Newcastle United owing to complex factors as the transfer deadline edges closer.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United may not sign Yoane Wissa ahead of the transfer deadline, as complex factors could prevent any potential deal. Despite the DR Congo striker being on strike, Brentford are relaxed and will only sell if a bid in excess of £50 million arrives on their table, as Wissa staying at the London side would also have a direct impact on the Alexander Isak saga.
The Premier League is about to experience one of the frantic transfer deadlines of all time, with many clubs waiting on dominoes to fall. The Alexander Isak saga is expected to dominate headlines, with the odds favouring Liverpool to land their coveted target.
Isak has been on strike for the whole summer, and Newcastle United are reluctant to sell unless their conditions are met. Liverpool are preparing a record bid for the striker, but the Magpies are demanding around the £150 million mark as per reports, and they would also want to bring in a replacement before they sanction the sale.
The replacement’s arrival has been the biggest problem for Newcastle United throughout the summer, despite the club recently signing Nick Woltemade. The German is only the latest striker the Magpies have had on their list, with the others rejecting offers from Eddie Howe’s side to make their moves elsewhere.
Newcastle United continues to retain an interest in Yoane Wissa despite the Woltemade signing. The DR Congo star has been on strike at Brentford, and so far, things have not worked in his favour. The Bees will only sanction a sale if Newcastle United can pay their asking price for the 20-goal summer target, and things look bleak at the moment.
Newcastle United may not sign Yoane Wissa
Wissa prefers a switch to Newcastle United, although a late bid is unlikely to arrive from the Magpies unless there are dramatic changes in the background. For starters, there will be question marks on whether the magpies have the funds to meet Brentford’s asking price, and to convince them, a sale of Isak might feel essential.
For now, Liverpool are angling for a late move for the Swede, although the Merseysiders and Newcastle United could fall short of time to sign their respective targets. Hence, a late flurry of high-profile deals could be ruled out as of now, although things often change dramatically around deadline day.
