Transfer negotiations heating up as Newcastle sets sights on RB Leipzig's star player
In the world of football, transfer season is in full swing, and some of the biggest clubs are making moves to strengthen their squads. Here's a roundup of the latest transfer news:
Manchester United secured the signing of highly-coveted striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a deal reported to be worth €76.5 million plus add-ons. Sesko, a 23-year-old Slovenian, had been courted by several top clubs, including Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and AC Milan. However, it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace encountered a setback in their attempt to sign Yann Bissek, a 24-year-old defender from Inter Milan. Palace made a £28 million offer for the player, but it was rejected, leaving the London club in search of a new defensive recruit.
Son Heung-min, a 33-year-old forward from South Korea, has agreed to join Major League Soccer's LAFC after leaving Tottenham. The move marks a new chapter in Son's illustrious career, and fans are eager to see what he can bring to the MLS.
Chelsea is close to signing Jorrel Hato, a 19-year-old defender from the Netherlands, for a reported fee of £35.5 million. Hato has completed a medical examination and is expected to join the club soon.
AC Milan is in discussions with Liverpool over a possible transfer of Darwin Nunez, a 26-year-old striker. However, Milan faces competition from Al-Hilal for the player's signature.
Newcastle United has shown interest in acquiring the services of Benjamin Sesko, and has made a £65.5 million bid for the striker. However, it remains to be seen if Manchester United's offer will be enough to convince Sesko to join them instead.
Liverpool is also interested in acquiring Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, and is preparing to make a second offer for the forward. Arsenal initially considered Isak but chose Viktor Gyokeres due to concerns about Isak's fitness.
Manchester United is also preparing a £61 million bid for Fermin Lopez, a 22-year-old midfielder from Barcelona. If successful, Lopez would join a growing list of high-profile signings at Old Trafford this transfer season.
Alexander Isak, who currently plays for Newcastle United, has not yet decided between the offers from Liverpool and Manchester United. The second offer from Liverpool for Isak is contingent on Newcastle securing a suitable replacement.
