Liverpool Crash Newcastle’s £50M Yoane Wissa Chase in Dramatic Transfer Twist



The summer transfer window has taken yet another unexpected turn as Liverpool have made a shock approach for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, threatening to derail Newcastle United’s bid for the £50 million-rated striker.

According to Empire of the Kop, the Reds have placed Wissa on their radar as a Plan B should their pursuit of Alexander Isak fail. Newcastle have already turned down Liverpool’s £110 million offer for the Swedish star, forcing Arne Slot’s side to explore alternative attacking options ahead of the new season.

Newcastle’s Frustrations Mount
For the Magpies, the situation is all too familiar. They have already lost out on Hugo Ekitike—who joined Liverpool in a £79 million deal—and now face the possibility of Wissa slipping through their fingers as well. To make matters worse, Tottenham Hotspur and Al-Nassr have also joined the hunt, creating a tense multi-club battle.

Brentford are reportedly open to selling their prolific forward, but only after securing a replacement—meaning time is running out for potential buyers.

Why Liverpool See Wissa as the Perfect Fit
Wissa’s versatility, proven Premier League scoring record, and tireless playing style make him an attractive option for Slot’s system. At 28, he doesn’t match Liverpool’s usual “buy young, sell high” transfer model, but with Darwin Núñez linked to a Saudi switch, the Reds appear ready to break tradition to get an immediate-impact player.

Newcastle at a Crossroads
Eddie Howe’s side must now decide whether to act fast or risk losing another top target to a direct rival. The transfer market waits for no one, and hesitation could leave Newcastle short in their attacking department once again.

Premier League Tug-of-War
This brewing battle over Wissa sums up the high-stakes nature of the transfer window. Liverpool are moving decisively to strengthen their squad, Newcastle are fighting to prove their pulling power, and Saudi clubs like Al-Nassr continue to disrupt the market with their financial muscle.

What’s Next?
With the clock ticking and interest from multiple sides, the next few days could be decisive in determining Wissa’s future—and the attacking fortunes of both Liverpool and Newcastle.

One thing’s certain: this saga is far from finished.
