According to a source, Yoane Wissa has spoken with Brentford director of football Phil Giles about his threats to never play for them again if he is denied permission to relocate to Newcastle.
The Magpies, who have already turned down one offer for the 28-year-old, are of particular interest in Bees forward Wissa.
Wissa returned from the club’s pre-season training camp in Portugal earlier this week to meet with Giles about moving to St James’ Park.
According to sources, Wissa has been irritated by his transfer to the north-east, which Brentford are yet to sanction.
According to those close to the situation, Wissa claims Brentford violated an offer that would allow him to leave the club if it were accepted.
According to BBC Sport, Wissa has threatened to leave the club if his move to Newcastle is not approved.
A deal has still not been reached, though it is believed Giles has had further discussions with Newcastle’s acting sporting director Andy Howe over the past 24 hours.
