Overview

• Manchester United have submitted a €75m-plus-add-ons bid for Benjamin Sesko and believe he has chosen Old Trafford over Newcastle United.
• Newcastle’s refusal of Liverpool’s £110m-plus-add-ons offer for Alexander Isak reflects the club’s insistence on lining up a replacement before approving any sale.
• Liverpool are finalizing Darwin Nunez’s €53m move to Al Hilal to generate funds and squad space for a new centre-forward.
• The earlier departure of Luis Diaz combined with Nunez’s imminent exit leaves Liverpool with a diminished attacking roster ahead of the new season.
• RB Leipzig have identified Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott as their leading candidate to reinforce their attack once Sesko’s transfer is complete.
