Liverpool were left waiting on a decision over RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko\u2019s future on Tuesday, as they prepare another bid for Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s Isak pursuit hinges on Sesko<\/p>\n

Having seen their first official bid for Newcastle<\/a> striker Isak rejected, Liverpool are left waiting for the dominoes to fall in the centre-forward market.<\/p>\n

The headline name in this regard is Sesko, who is wanted by both Newcastle<\/a> and Man United<\/a> \u2013 and if he decides to join the Magpies, it could then free Isak up for a move.<\/p>\n

However, Liverpool find themselves reliant on a decision from the Slovenian\u2019s current club, Leipzig, who have now received offers from both of his Premier League<\/a> suitors.<\/p>\n

\"LEIPZIG,<\/p>\n

The Athletic<\/a>\u2018s David Ornstein reports that Man United<\/a> have submitted a bid worth up to \u20ac85 million, while Newcastle<\/a> are reported to have offered a \u20ac90 million package.<\/p>\n

Sesko has agreed personal terms with both clubs, claims Sky Germany<\/a>\u2018s Florian Plettenberg, meaning Liverpool\u2019s hopes of clinching a deal for Isak in the near future could hinge on whether Leipzig shake hands with Newcastle<\/a> or Man United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Quite why any player with elite ambitions would join Man United<\/a> is beyond us!<\/p>\n

Liverpool FC: On this day<\/p>\n

\"Ian<\/p>\n

On this day in 1975, Ian Callaghan was shown his first-ever yellow card for Liverpool in a 2-0 friendly win over Dortmund.<\/p>\n

It was widely deemed an incorrect decision, however, and coming in a friendly it was not officially recorded.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, despite making 857 appearances for Liverpool in competitive games \u2013 the most of any player in the club\u2019s history \u2013 Callaghan was only ever booked ONCE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That came in a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest<\/a> in a replay of the League Cup<\/a> final in 1978.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool were left waiting on a decision over RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko\u2019s future on Tuesday, as they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59,134,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-46067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-gb","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
