Newcastle’s exterior is set to miss out on a deal between Benjamin Sesco and Manchester United.
Newcastle is expected to move on to other targets alongside Manchester United. Now, it is expected that those who signed RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesco will submit the requested striker offer and then sign Benjamin Sesco.
Magpies had already had plans to acquire a new issue of No. 9 this summer before heating up Alexander Isaac and Liverpool. But unfortunately for Newcastle, they have been struggling with many set-offs this summer in the market.
They were eager to sign Hugo Ekitique from Entracht Frankfurt and bid for the French, only to see him move to Anfield.
Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Bryan Mbeumo are among the other attackers who headed elsewhere after being courted in Newcastle this summer.
And Magpies are now supported for more disappointment in pursuit of Sesco, who is understood to support the move towards Manchester United.

With that in mind, Talksport claims that Ollie Watkins, Nicolas Jackson, Yoane Wissa and Lois Openda are alternative targets that Newcastle is currently considering.
Watkins at Aston Villa was previously linked to both Arsenal and United, but interest in Wissa had appeared previously. Dr. Congo is also linked to Tottenham.
Jackson is still able to leave Chelsea this summer and is linked to United. Meanwhile, Openda scored nine goals for RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga.
Newcastle struggles to get nine targets of their preference, so Liverpool’s landing Isaac is on balance.
The Reds are thought to be willing to crush the UK transfer record twice this summer, in order to sign Isaac after agreeing to pay the total previously in the £116 million region, including an add-on to acquire Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
Sesco was considered the type of statement that would potentially sign someone who would ease the blow of losing a player of Isaac’s quality. However, the Slovenian striker’s preference for travelling to United could be a scupper like Liverpool’s Isaac’s swooping, or at least delayed.
Sky Sports reported on Wednesday that ISAK was told to report training on its own, following the end of the day of post-training family activities, leaving Spanish groups recently.
