Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexander Isak may hinge on the transfer fate of Benjamin Sesko, currently a target for both Newcastle United and Manchester United. Sesko, the 22-year-old Slovenian striker who scored 13 goals and made five assists last season for RB Leipzig, is at the center of a competitive bidding war, with reported offers exceeding €80 million from both Premier League clubs. Newcastle United have submitted a bid considered to be higher and more favorable compared to Manchester United’s €85 million offer, which includes €75 million fixed plus €10 million in potential add-ons[1][4].

Sesko is understood to have agreed personal financial terms with Newcastle United while also being open to Manchester United’s project. RB Leipzig reportedly favors Newcastle’s offer due to its higher total value, but a final decision remains in the hands of the player and Leipzig. Sources indicate verbal agreements exist with both clubs, but the transfer is still unresolved, prolonging speculation and related transfer moves in the Premier League[1][2].

This transfer saga directly influences the status of Alexander Isak. If Sesko moves to Newcastle, Liverpool could accelerate their pursuit of Isak as Newcastle will need to find a replacement. Alternatively, if Sesko chooses Manchester United, Newcastle’s squad demands might change, possibly delaying Liverpool’s Isak negotiations. Thus, the timing and outcome of Sesko’s transfer are pivotal in multiple Premier League clubs' transfer strategies[3].

Overall, Sesko’s transfer is complex and decisive, involving multiple top-flight clubs with high stakes not only for the player’s future but also for wider transfer market movements ahead of the new season.[1][2][3][4]
