Newcastle prepared to take £40m loss on summer signing

Newcastle United are ready to cut their losses and sell Yoane Wissa for as little as £15M this summer.

Wissa has struggled to make an impact since his £55M transfer from Brentford last summer, with a knee injury delaying his start to the campaign and derailing his debut season.

The 29-year-old has scored once in 14 league appearances and has fallen out of favour in recent weeks.

He’s played just two minutes of Premier League football over Newcastle’s last five games and was overlooked despite the Magpies chasing a goal during recent defeats to Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.

Wissa was also an unused sub in both of the club’s Champions League games against Barcelona.

According to the iPaper, Newcastle are willing to entertain offers of only £15m for Wissa in the summer. The striker scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford during the 2024/25 campaign but has failed to make the desired impact at St James’ Park.
