Liverpool’s summer transfer plan has taken somewhat of a hit, and it’s not because of anything happening at Anfield. It’s because Benjamin Šeško decided to join Manchester United and the ripple effect it has on their ability to sign their top target,

The Premier League pair have both reportedly made contact with RB Leipzig over a move for the £70m-rated striker. Man Utd are desperate to continue upgrading their forward line, having already spent in excess of £130million on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

Manchester United's status as favourites to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig could potentially derail Liverpool's pursuit of Isak. Newcastle will only part ways with Isak once they've secured a replacement.
