TA: Newcastle offers £25m for Visa, Brentford refuses

Brentford rejected Newcastle's offer to Visa, according to The Athletic.

reported that Newcastle offered Visa for £25 million, but was rejected, and Newcastle will continue to pursue, and the personal terms between them and the players will not be a problem.

Visa has returned from Brentford's pre-season training camp in Portugal to allow for face-to-face talks with club seniors and discuss his future.

According to reports last week, Newcastle tried to sign the striker after his interest in Ekitic cooled down. Nottingham Forest had previously shown interest in signing Visa, and their offer was also rejected by Brentford.

It is reported that Brentford's valuation of Visa is above £50 million, which highlights his importance to the team. Especially after Mbemo joined Manchester United, this importance has only increased and not decreased.

Visa joined Brentford in August 2021, and he has one year left on his current contract, and Brentford has the option to extend the contract for another 12 months. He scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season, and if he left the team now, it would only put Brentford in greater turmoil this summer.

Previously, the Premier League club had lost coach Frank and his coaching staff, while Mbemo and Norgao both switched to other Premier League teams.
