Brentford have attempted to open contract talks with Yoane Wissa but he is understood to prefer a move away from the club this summer.
With Bryan Mbeumo expected to join Manchester United, the Bees' attentions are turning to resolving the future of 20-goal forward Wissa.
Newcastle, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest are among those with a firm interest in the DR Congo international.
Brentford have tried to pre-empt the developing issue by starting contract talks with the 28-year-old, who moved to west London in 2021 from French club Lorient.
However, sources have indicated that, as things stand, Wissa has no inclination to discuss improved terms and privately has made his intentions to explore options elsewhere clear.
