After Mbeumo, is Brentford being too greedy over Yoane Wissa?

Yoane Wissa
After seeing his attacking partner, Bryan Mbeumo, head off to Manchester United, Yoane Wissa has made it clear he wants to pack his bags and leave Brentford. But the English club is proving to be a tough negotiator.
Last season, Yoane Wissa netted 20 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions. As a result, the Congolese striker is attracting plenty of interest. Newcastle have made a move in recent hours with a €25 million offer. However, the Bees' management immediately turned it down, according to The Athletic.
For now, Wissa remains under contract with the club until June 2026. His market value is estimated between €30 and €40 million, and this is not the first time Brentford have rebuffed an approach. Nottingham Forest previously ran into the same stubborn stance from the board earlier in the transfer window.
It's clear Brentford are determined to cash in to the fullest on one of the Premier League's most sought-after talents. The English club won't let their striker go unless an offer meets their lofty expectations.

NBC could resurrect a sports cable channel in sports media twist

Executives at NBCUniversal are eying a new sports cable network, roughly four years after they shuttered the previous one the company operated. The unnamed cable channel would carry sports that will also stream on the company's service, Peacock, with the network potentially going live as early as the fall, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. No decision has been made, and talks are in the early stage, according to the report, but the network would be available on cable and satellite services as part of specialty packages. NBC could bring back a sports cable network. Getty Images The channel would complement the Peacock streaming platform and would give the company a safety net of sorts if its subscriber base doesn't grow as quickly as the network anticipates. The news comes months before NBC officially joins as a broadcast partner for the NBA, which cost NBCU roughly $2.5 billion annually for the rights to carry the league package. NBA games this season will air on both linear NBC and on Peacock. The Wall Street Journal report also indicated that the potential sports network would be made available through specific cable packages, rather than the broader plan that includes other sports networks such as ESPN and Fox Sports 1. Previously, NBC operated NBC Sports Network — also known as NBCSN — before it shut down in 2021 due to low ratings and its inability to compete with ESPN. NBCSN used to cover the NHL before the channel was shuttered in 2021. NHLI via Getty Images NBCU has aired 'Sunday Night Football' simulcasts on Peacock, along with an exclusive NFL game that is carried only on the streaming service. Other sports offerings on the streamer include golf, college football, the Olympics and Premier League soccer before the NBA enters the fray in the fall. Peacock's subscription cost went up by $3 to $10.99 a month for its ad-supported tier and to $16.99 for its tier with no commercials.
