Alexander Isak's wish to look for a new club came as a huge shock for fans of Newcastle United, but it can also have a babbling effect for Manchester United
The potential departure of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United could jeopardize the aim of Manchester United of RB Leipzig -striker Benjamin Sesko. Despite the security of the services of Matheus Cunha at the beginning of June and recently completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, United is still looking for attacking reinforcements.
After Viktor Gyokeres had rejected a reunion with Ruben Amorim to become a member of Arsenal, the focus of the Red Devils is reportedly shifted to Sesko. With the Noord -Londers close to the closing of a deal for Gyokees, United seemed to have had a clear path to the towering Slovenian attacker.
However, if Newcastle releases Isak, which is linked to Liverpool and Saudi Aarabic outfit Hilal after he has informed Eddie Howe's side that he wants to explore an exit from St James' park, the Magpies is expected to go to Sesko. This can cause problems for United, who have already missed many striking goals this summer.
According to athletics, Newcastle is considering a movement for Sesko, who has a record of 27 goals and seven assists in 64 Bundesliga trips for Leipzig. The Daily Mail has also claimed that Newcastle Leipzig has approached the possibility of signing Sesko, which could have a fee in the £ 60 million region to £ 70 million.
Because Isak seems to look for an exit, Newcastle could decide to take advantage of what might be a Premier League Record Transfer compensation for a player. If this happens, they will probably speed up their pursuit for another productive target scorer and Sesko seems to fit in the account.
Since the Magpies participate in the Champions League this season, United might have trouble luring Sesko to Old Trafford. Moreover, after they have already splashed around £ 132.5 million on Mbeumo and Cunha, United will probably have to discharge players before they can make a serious offer, while Newcastle can have enough money if ISAK's departure is accelerated.
After having set only 44 goals in the Premier League last season, United still urgently needs a deadly striker. Cunha and Mbeumo are both sharp finishers, with 35 goals and 14 assists between them for their respective clubs last year.
Unfortunately for Amorim there are no traditional center Vooruit, which United has been looking this summer. The Red Devils have already missed Delap, Gyokeres and, most recently, Hugo Ekitike, who insured a relocation of £ 79 million to Liverpool this week.
Reportedly, United has held discussions with the representatives of Chelsea Vooruit Nicolas Jackson, who is now thought that it has a price tag of £ 80 million. It is now understood that an offer for the Senegal International of the Red Devils is unexpected.
French Outletvoet Mercato also reported that Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, who was on loan last season at Juventus, is a different potential target for United. However, Sesko could be the preferred choice for United.
German media suggest that he has a price tag of around £ 60 million – £ 12 million less than what United has selected for Rasmus Hojlund to Atalanta in 2023 – making the 22 -year -old an attractive prospect.
United still has Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in their team, but neither has proven that they can lead the attack. The loan movement from Marcus Rashford to Barcelona has cleared the space and wages about £ 12 million, but United still has to generate money before they offer for another attacker.
Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho, who solves the club, will be openly prepared to sell, will probably be top of Amorim's agenda, especially now that Newcastle is busy in the race for Sesko.
