Brentford are in talks with Emiliano Marcondes over a new contract.
The Bees have lost striker Ollie Watkins from their side that pushed for promotion last season while attacking midfielder Said Benrahma is on the verge of joining West Ham.
But they are hoping to tie down Marcondes, 25, who also played a big part last season as they went agonisingly close to reaching the Premier League, losing out in the Champions League play-off final against neighbours Fulham.
Marcondes made 25 appearances last season, featuring regularly for Thomas Frank's side in the second half of the season following his return from a loan spell at FC Midtjylland.
