Newcastle United had been quite impressive for the last couple of seasons, and they are also qualifying for the UEFA Champions League regularly. Their star forward, Alexander Isak, had been the main pillar of strength for the side, but it looks like the Swedish International wants to leave.
Earlier reports suggested that Liverpool came in enquiring about the 25 year old, but they were told no by Newcastle United. But soon after Liverpool signed French forward Hugo Ekitike for a reported fee of £79 million, Isak tabled a shocking transfer request.

It will definitely be hard for Newcastle United to let their best player go, but it looks like they have no other choice left. Isak is not travelling with the side for the friendlies, and reports are also suggesting that he prefers a move to Liverpool only. Newcastle United have already started looking forward to a replacement.
Benjamin Sesko is a Slovenian international forward
The name of Benjamin Sesko has emerged to be the prime target of Newcastle United to replace Alexander Isak. The £70 million rated forward had been quite impressive for RB Leipzig for the last couple of seasons, and he can definitely be the ideal replacement for Isak.

But certainly it looks like Newcastle United will face difficulties in landing the Slovenian forward, as reports are suggesting that Manchester United are also reportedly interested in the £70 million rated forward. Isak to Liverpool is still not done yet, but once Isak heads out, they must look forward to replacing him.

But Manchester United have already secured the signings of two major forwards: Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha. Chances are very low that they would move for another forward with such a high price tag. It should not be very difficult for Newcastle United to land the Slovenian forward.
