Both of whom have enjoyed standout Premier League campaigns and are being closely tracked by top-flight rivals.
Mbeumo, in particular, has been at the heart of Brentford’s attacking success this season.
He has netted 18 league goals in a prolific run of form that has seen him linked with several top Premier League sides.
Manchester United are one of the clubs interested, with Fabrizio Romano recently providing an update.
Christian Norgaard admits Bryan Mbeumo departure “likely”
Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News, Norgaard said: “I think Bryan is likely to go. I don’t know about Wissa yet.
“Everyone hopes that he might stay. Either way, I’m happy for the season and am happy for both of them.
“They deserve it so much.”
Wissa, who also sits on 18 Premier League goals for the season, saw a bid come in from Nottingham Forest in January.
While Mbeumo’s consistent output and versatility have made him a target for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.

Despite the growing interest in his teammates, Norgaard remains calm and confident in Brentford’s ability to rebuild.
“I’m pretty calm about what will happen with Bryan and Wissa,” he said.
“A lot of questions are asked about them and you can almost feel the worries around the players, when you talk about them maybe leaving us.
“I was one [of them] when we were losing Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma, Ivan Toney. So it continues.”

Brentford’s history of successfully replacing outgoing stars has given the club a reputation for smart recruitment.
Mbeumo is one of many names on United’s radar ahead of the summer window.
Should he join the Red Devils, it would likely be seen as a sensible signings.
Considering his Premier League experience and being just 25 years old.
