The Bees are eager to support their new manager, Keith Andrews, and are committed to keeping their key players. This includes Wissa, who has a contract that runs until 2026 with an option for an additional year.

Nottingham Forest had previously made a bid for Wissa in January, but it was unsuccessful. They have since tried to reopen talks with Brentford this summer, but the club remains resolute in its decision.

Brentford's board is also preparing to accept an offer from Manchester United for another key player, Bryan Mbeumo, worth £70 million.
