Newcastle United has submitted a club record offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, understands Talksport.

Manchester United also talks about a change for Sesko after sent a delegation to Germany at the beginning of this week.

Leipzig quoted Arsenal a price of more than EUR 80 million for Sesko, although sports director Andrea Berta could not reduce the price before signing Viktor Gyokoker instead.

But both Newcastle and Manchester United believe that a transfer could be possible for € 70 million.

The news of Newcastles offer for the Slovenian comes less than 24 hours after the club rejected the 110 millions of pounds from Liverpool for Alexander Isak.

And the type of this refutation has meant that the reds have no impending plans to pursue a second approach in this transmission window – unless the position of Newcastle changes.

Talksport understands that the magpies want to keep their star forward or at least describe a replacement before it is ready to sell it, with 150 million GBP being considered the prize.

Isak, who is currently training with the former Club Real Sociedad, has announced Newcastle that he wants to leave this summer.

The Swede also has the honor of being a record when the club issued £ 63 million in August 2022 to secure its services of Real Sociedad.

If Newcastle Land Sesko would be an important coup for the magpie and an urgently needed transmission boost, since you have hit several goals this summer.

Who missed Newcastle this summer?

Bryan MBeumo, Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitics, Dean Huijsen, James Trafford and Liam Delap were sought by Newcastle.

However, the boss of Newcastle, Eddie Howe, remained left behind how the sextuble moves elsewhere.

Mbumo went to Manchester United, Delap and Pedro switched to Chelsea, Ekikte was recorded by Liverpool, Trafford returned to Manchester City and Huijsen secured a change of Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Howe managed to secure one of his previous goals in the form of an electric wing player Anthony Elanga, who arrived in a deal of 55 million GBP from Nottingham Forest.

But the 47-year-old is not an illusion, the only addition of the Swedish international will be sufficient for the upcoming campaign because the club returns to the light lights of the Champions League.

“We are not deceived,” said Howe to Newcastles 3-2 defeat against Arsenal in Singapore as part of her preparations before the season.

“We know that we have to bring in players. We knew that. We know what we wanted.

“It was a challenging window.”

Another player in Newcastles Crosshairs is Brentford Ace Yoane Wissa.

Newcastle had a bid of 25 million GBP, which was rejected by the bees for the winger, who stated that they would not separate themselves with their 19-goal star for less than 50 million GBP.

But Wissa, who has a year in his contract, is determined to force an exit and even refused to train.

At the age of 28, Wissa is said to be the desire to play the Champions League football for a large club and believes that it could be the last chance in his career to do this.

This was given to Brentford in face to facing his future in London after Wissa had left Brentford’s pre-season tour in Lisbon.
