Newcastle United are desperate to get a striker’s deal done before the window ends as their current No.9 Alexander Isak is looking for other options. Isak who has already made up his mind of leaving is interested in joining Liverpool and also the club trying hard to get the deal done. However, Newcastle can only give green light when they get a new striker and they are fully focused on Benjamin Sesko. They are rivaling Manchester United for the striker. Despite sending the second bid of €90 million (package), they are not confident that the player will choose them. Man United hasn’t send a bid yet as they are waiting for the player’s approval first.
Newcastle United are scrambling to finalise a striker signing before the summer transfer window closes, as their current No.9 Alexander Isak looks increasingly likely to leave the club. The Swedish forward has reportedly made up his mind about moving on, with Liverpool emerging as his preferred destination.
Liverpool are pushing hard to get a deal over the line for Isak, who is seen as a long-term addition to their attacking options. However, Newcastle are unwilling to greenlight the transfer unless they secure a suitable replacement — and their top target is RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
The Magpies are facing stiff competition from Manchester United for the Slovenian talent. Newcastle have already submitted a second bid worth €90 million (including add-ons), but there is uncertainty within the club about Šeško’s willingness to join them.
