According to Sky Sports News reporter Keith Downie, signing Visa looks slim at the moment, and Newcastle is ready to turn to other signing targets. Brentford executives have conveyed a clear message to Newcastle that if they want to complete Visa's transfer transaction, they must significantly increase the quotation, otherwise they can only give up.

Keith Downie said Visa himself and his agent team were very frustrated by this because they had clearly stated to Brentford that the players only wanted to join Newcastle. Newcastle's previous offer of £25 million has been rejected, and they have considered raising the offer to about £35 million.

Meanwhile, due to Brentford's tough attitude, Visa has informed the club that it has no intention of returning to the training ground.

The 28-year-old Democratic Congo striker Visa made 39 appearances in various competitions last season, scored 20 goals and contributed 4 assists. Visa's contract with the club expires next summer, and the current player De has turned 32 million euros.
