Football transfer insider David Ornstein has dropped a fresh bombshell in the Benjamin Sesko saga — and it’s already sending shockwaves through the Premier League 👀.

According to The Athletic, Newcastle United have officially launched a massive €80 million bid for RB Leipzig’s rising star Benjamin Sesko 🇸🇮. While the talented Slovenian forward hasn’t made a final call on his next move, Manchester United remain in the race, hoping to hijack the deal at the last minute.

Interestingly, earlier reports from Slovenia had suggested that Sesko was already leaning towards a switch to Newcastle. But Ornstein’s latest update hints otherwise — meaning the door could still be open for a dramatic late swoop by United 🟥.

🚨 Is Isak On His Way Out?

The timing of Newcastle’s offer has sparked fresh speculation around Alexander Isak’s future. The Swedish striker has recently been linked with a high-profile move to Liverpool, who reportedly saw their big-money offer rejected by the Magpies, according to BBC Sport.

Could Newcastle be preparing for life without their star man? Signing a young, high-potential replacement like Sesko would certainly make sense if Isak is edging closer to the exit 🛫.

While Liverpool may have cooled their pursuit due to Isak’s steep price tag, the arrival of Sesko could reignite interest. After all, big clubs don’t let opportunities slip when the dominoes start to fall…

One thing’s clear — if Sesko joins the Magpies, it might just trigger one of the summer’s biggest striker shake-ups 💣.

Stay tuned… this one’s far from over 🔁
