The difficult summer of Newcastle seems to be going up with Benjamin Sesko who keeps an eye on a move to Manchester United while the Magpies focused their attention on AC Milan star Malick Thiaw
Newcastle will focus their attention on AC Milan's Malick Thiaw while preparing to lose Benjamin Sesko with Manchester United his preferred destination this summer.
The magpies have passed a difficult window with some of their goals that choose to look somewhere else. But Eddie Howe wants the defender of the Italian club countries that has already rejected Thiaw by the Rossoneri.
Reports in Germany claim that a new offer is probably from Newcastle. The versatility of the German International has proved to be a huge plus, with Thiaw played centrally, as a right back and a defensive midfielder in the past.
Negotiations take place between the Premier League side and their Serie A -Rivalals, which they played in the Champions League two years ago. Schalke, who played Thiaw before his move to Milan, also benefits from a possible deal because of their sales clause.
Until now, this summer, the only important signature of Newcastle was their £ 55 million capture from Anthony Elanga, who was joined Nottingham Forest after an impressive year. He will strengthen their front line, but apart from him Howe has difficulty getting new faces through the door.
Their newest blow could come with Sesko who might go to Manchester. The Red Devils are increasingly confident to sign the Slovenian of RB Leipzig after the striker had indicated his preference to join the club with both options available for him.
Newcastle is interested in Sesko and has taken the first step with their first bid, but the young striker is in favor of moving to Old Trafford, where he has to sign a five -year -old deal. The Magpies can offer Champions League football, but that does not seem to have been enough to seduce him.
The problem for Newcastle is that they want to get a top class striker through the door before they let Alexander Isak leave the club. The Swede insists on the starting door with Liverpool that monitors a movement that could cost them no less than £ 150 million if the valuation of the Magpies is met.
Isak has been told to train away from the first team to miss their journey for the season to Asia. He would leave a huge void in the Newcastle attack in which Howe also opts for Joao Pedro, who was on his shortlist, for Chelsea prior to relocation to St James' Park.
