Alexander Isak Left Out of Newcastle United Squad as Liverpool Consider Transfer - Liverpool Echo
ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 24 – Newcastle targets RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, who scored 21 goals last season, as Alexander Isak seeks a record £150 million transfer to Liverpool this summer.
- On July 24, 2025, Alexander Isak informed Newcastle United he wants to leave, prompting the club to plot a move for a replacement striker.
- Last week, Newcastle omitted Isak from their squad for a friendly loss to Celtic, and on Thursday Isak declared his desire to leave after links to a £150m Liverpool move.
- According to Fabrizio Romano, Sesko scored 21 goals in 45 games last season and detailed a 'gentlemen's agreement' allowing a departure for €70-80m plus €5-10m add-ons but only for select 'special' clubs.
- Should Liverpool finalise Isak's sale, Newcastle could channel the funds into a Sesko deal, and they can offer Champions League football next season, boosting their bid.
- Alternatively, Newcastle could pursue Yoane Wissa, but Brentford demand at least £40m to sell Wissa.
