British media talkSPORT reported that after Brentford signed Ouatar from Bournemouth, Visa is expected to officially join Newcastle.
After Mbemo joined Manchester United for £71 million, Brentford insisted that he would not sell Visa, but if a replacement could be found, they would be willing to change their position on Visa's non-selling products. At present, Ouattara is about to become the replacement.
According to talkSPORT, Brentford is about to sign Bournemouth striker Ouattara for £42.5 million, and an agreement between the clubs is expected to be reached, and Ouattara is also eager to leave Bournemouth.
Visa is currently training alone and is fully committed to the transfer to Newcastle after leaving Brentford's pre-season training camp in Portugal. Newcastle's two previous offers for Visa were rejected, including a quote of an initial £30 million plus a potential £5 million surcharge. Visa's current contract expires next summer, and he believes he has reached a gentleman agreement with Brentford to allow him to leave this summer after agreeing to stay in the team for the 2024-25 season. Visa hopes to compete in the Champions League and is willing to wait for Newcastle, which is expected to close by this weekend.
Newcastle has been reluctant to sell Isaac before finding a replacement. They have suffered a setback in chasing several forwards this summer, including Cunya, Delapp Jr., Joao Pedro and Cesco. Signing Visa may pave the way for Isaac's final departure.
