Nottingham Forest have reignited their interest in Congolese international Yoane Wissa, submitting a fresh offer for the Brentford attacker as the summer transfer window heats up.
According to reports from Sky Sports, Forest have returned with a second bid for the 28-year-old winger after seeing an initial approach worth around €25 million rejected in January.
The renewed pursuit underlines Forest’s ambition to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
Wissa has emerged as a key figure at Brentford in recent seasons, drawing widespread attention with his pace, direct style, and knack for goals in crucial moments.
His performances have not only cemented his role in Thomas Frank’s side but have also sparked interest from other Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the summer.
However, Brentford are reportedly reluctant to lose both of their prized forwards in the same window.
With Manchester United continuing to press for a deal involving Cameroonian forward Bryan Mbeumo, the West London club now faces increasing pressure to make difficult decisions regarding their squad’s offensive core.
Forest’s latest offer has not yet prompted an official response from Brentford, but discussions are said to be ongoing.
The club’s stance remains firm: they are not prepared to part ways with Wissa unless the financial terms are deemed acceptable and a suitable replacement can be secured.
The Congolese international, who joined Brentford from Lorient in 2021, has become a dependable asset, contributing with goals and assists across multiple competitions.
His ability to operate across the frontline makes him an attractive target for a Nottingham Forest side eager to improve on last season’s narrow escape from relegation.
While no personal terms have been disclosed, Wissa is believed to be open to exploring new opportunities, particularly if it means a more prominent role at another Premier League outfit.
As the transfer window progresses, Brentford now find themselves at a crossroads—facing tough calls on two of their biggest stars.
For Nottingham Forest, the message is clear: they are ready to invest and are determined to make Wissa a marquee signing this summer.
