After leaving the team's pre-season base in Portugal, Yoane Wissa will now hold talks with Brentford director of football Phil Giles.
Newcastle,Spurs and Nottingham Forest are among those with a firm interest in signing the DR Congo forward.
The outcome of the meeting is likely to be pivotal towards how Brentford approach resolving Wissa's future.
Brentford recently tried to open negotiations with Wissa over a new contract, but he is understood to prefer a move away this summer.
It comes after Bryan Mbeumo left for Manchester United in a deal worth an initial £65m.
Brentford initially had no intention of losing both Mbeumo and Wissa this summer.
However, with Wissa turning 29 in September, the scenario of a depreciating asset - who this summer could command a fee in the region of £40m, if not more - will likely be a consideration.
That he has just 12 months left on his current deal, though there is an option to activate by a further year, is another factor to mull over.
Should the club double down on keeping Wissa after Mbeumo's exit? Or would they be better cashing in and having a clean slate to work with?
