In a major twist this transfer window, RB Leipzig striker **Benjamin Šeško** is now expected to join **Newcastle United**, turning down offers from **Manchester United**. This surprise decision could open the door for **Liverpool** to finally sign **Alexander Isak**.
### Why Šeško’s Move Matters
Newcastle have been refusing to sell Isak to Liverpool unless they first sign a replacement. Now that Šeško has reportedly agreed to join them, Newcastle could be ready to let Isak go—*if Liverpool meet their \$197 million price tag*.
Liverpool already had a \$146 million bid rejected, but with a replacement lined up, Newcastle may now be willing to talk.
### Liverpool’s Summer So Far
Liverpool have already spent around **\$325 million** on big names like **Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong**, and more. They’ve also sold players like **Luis Díaz** and **Trent Alexander-Arnold**, raising \$153 million in return.
But their biggest goal remains: **signing a world-class striker**. That striker is Isak.
### Nunez Could Be Sold to Fund It
To help pay for Isak, Liverpool may sell **Darwin Núñez**, who has been linked with a move to **Al-Hilal** in Saudi Arabia. Liverpool are asking for around **\$75 million**. Other players, like **Harvey Elliott** and **Andrew Robertson**, could also be sold.
### Newcastle’s Plan
Newcastle originally wanted to pair Isak with Hugo Ekitike, but Liverpool signed Ekitike first. Now, Šeško is their top target. If they sign him, selling Isak won’t hurt their squad depth—and they’ll make a huge profit.
### What’s Next?
Šeško’s move could start a **chain reaction** in the Premier League:
* Liverpool might finally get their striker.
* Newcastle will stay strong up front with Šeško.
* Manchester United will have to look elsewhere after missing out.
This transfer twist has changed everything—and the clock is ticking.
