Man Utd could miss out on Benjamin Sesko as Newcastle push hard. Thus, the Red Devils have now been "offered" a chance to sign an alternative.

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle have submitted an improved bid worth £69.7m (€80m), plus add-ons, for Sesko. The report claims that the Magpies had an opening offer worth £65.3m (€75m), plus £4.4m (€5m) in bonuses, turned down earlier this summer.

Benjamin Sesko continues to be linked with a move to Newcastle United as a possible replacement for Alexander Isak. It was reported that Newcastle expect a response from Sesko within 48 hours regarding whether he wants to join the club.

Alexander Isak returned to Newcastle United on Monday but his future at St James' Park remains uncertain amid interest from Liverpool. The Swede had been training on his own at the complex of former club, Real Sociedad, while his teammates continued their pre-season schedule.

Liverpool and Newcastle United could go head to head again -- this time for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.
