Newcastle United are trying to sign 6 ft 4 RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko and reports from journalist close to Liverpool make it appear as though Alexander Isak could move to Anfield.
So much has happened in the 2025 summer transfer window for Liverp
ool that it’s difficult to believe that Liverpoool have spent almost £300m and recouped nearly £190m.
Signing Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz for a combined value of around £200m sounds like a clickbait headline from March – but it’s real and Liverpool don’t appear to be done.
Today, Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool are ready to make a huge bid to sign Isak while Newcastle United are making headway in their move to sign Benjamin Sesko and Yoann Wissa.
Liverpool could get their man if Newcastle advance in their hopes of signing £60m Sesko
If Liverpool sign Isak – it will cost around £130m – it will have a curious affect on Arne Slot’s squad but there is no doubt they can actually afford it.
Widespread reports confirm Liverpool are in fine financial shape and the £65m sale of Diaz to Bayerm will further strengthen their ability to afford and negotiate a deal to sign Isak.
Even stronger will there position be when Newcaslte wrap up a deal for Sesko which has already advanced rapidly since last week.
Journalist Ben Jacobs says Newcastle signing Sesko will depend on whether or not the forward agrees personal terms with them after the Mapgies alreeady informed Leipzig they are happy to pay £60m to get the deal done.
Jacobs reports: “Newcastle have told Leipzig they are prepared to pay over £60m for Benjamin Sesko. No bid yet, as NUFC wait to see whether Sesko agrees terms.
“Manchester United also have Sesko on their radar. Yoane Wissa still a target. And Nicolas Jackson also discussed by Newcastle.”
Isak has “no chance” of joing Newcastle United’s pre-season tour, says Eddie Howe
Asked on Sunday by journalists about the likelihood of Isak returning to the Newcastle squad for their tour of Singapore, Howe replied: “No, no chance.”
The former Bournemouth boss added: “Of course, we’re not deluded. We know that we need to bring players in, we’ve known that for a long time.
“At the tail end of last season, we did all the work we wanted. It’s been a challenging transfer window, let’s see what we can do.”
