Newcastle closes 'blockbuster' deal to replace Isak

Alexander Isak's future is uncertain as he could join Liverpool, forcing Newcastle to target Benjamin Sesko as a replacement.

Isak is likely to leave Liverpool this summer.

Newcastle fans were relieved when Liverpool successfully recruited Hugo Ekitike for £70 million. Liverpool's new striker made many believe Alexander Isak would continue to be associated with St. James' Park. However, things suddenly took a different turn.

British media have confirmed that Isak is considering leaving the club, with Liverpool and a number of big clubs interested. If Isak leaves, it will be a big shock for coach Eddie Howe as he sees the 24-year-old striker as the core of his plan to conquer the Premier League and the European arena next season.

However, the Magpies are preparing early. The Athletic claims that the North East team will pursue Benjamin Sesko - a young striker currently playing for RB Leipzig. Sesko's price is around 87 million pounds.

"Newcastle are considering signing Benjamin Sesko if Alexander Isak leaves," transfer expert David Ornstein said. "The 22-year-old striker is a long-term target for the club and would be a top priority if Isak were to be replaced."

Sesko is the Bundesliga's most promising striker, with 21 goals and 6 assists in 45 appearances last season. If Newcastle really push ahead with the deal, it will be bad news for United, who are also chasing Sesko, along with other targets such as Ollie Watkins and Nicolas Jackson.

Isak's future at Newcastle is looking increasingly uncertain. If he moves to Liverpool, the Magpies are ready to offer a replacement, and the race to sign Sesko is expected to heat up in the final weeks of the transfer window.
