Kein Klub hat in diesem Sommer bislang mehr Geld für neue Stars ausgegeben als der FC Liverpool. Mehr als 308 Millionen Euro haben die „Reds“ in neue Spieler investiert. Und sie sind noch nicht fertig mit dem Kader-Umbau …
Mit Alexander Isak (25) von Newcastle United soll sich der Klub bereits über einen Vertrag einig sein, er gilt als das noch fehlende Puzzlestück in den Plänen von Trainer Arne Slot (46).
Sunderland postet Video: Xhakas erste Worte nach Wechsel-Theater
Aber: Der Transfer scheint jetzt zu wackeln!
Der Grund: Leipzig-Stürmer Benjamin Sesko (22/Vertrag bis 2029), den Newcastle gern als Isak-Nachfolger verpflichten würde, tendiert NICHT zu einem Wechsel zu den „Magpies“. Das Interesse des Premier-League-Klubs soll ihn nach SPORT BILD-Informationen nicht vollends überzeugen. Auch deshalb hat Newcastle bisher noch kein offizielles Angebot für Sesko abgegeben. Nach BILD-Informationen hat der Klub aber das grundsätzliche Interesse bei RB hinterlegt.
Leipzig-Stürmer Benjamin Sesko
<!–>
Laut englischen Medienberichten soll Newcastle Isak nicht ziehen lassen, sollte kein geeigneter Ersatz verpflichtet werden können. Der schwedische Stürmer hat noch Vertrag bis 2028.
Was die Entscheidung für Sesko auch schwieriger macht: Derweil soll auch Manchester United in den Poker um ihn eingestiegen sein. Deren deutscher „Direktor Profifußball und Scout“ Christopher Vivell (38) war von 2015 bis 2020 bei RB Salzburg, von 2020 bis 2022 bei RB Leipzig. Er war es, der Sesko 2019 als ganz jungen Spieler nach Salzburg holte. Laut der britischen Zeitung „Daily Mail“ ist der Slowene das „Transfer-Ziel Nummer 1“ der „Red Devils“.
[–>Bereits zuvor war ein potenzieller Wechsel zum FC Arsenal geplatzt. Die „Gunners“ haben sich stattdessen im Sturm mit dem Schweden Viktor Göykeres (27) verstärkt (kam für 65,8 Millionen Euro von Sporting).
Die unsichere Situation um seine Zukunft führt NICHT dazu, dass sich der 22-Jährige im Training hängen lässt. Im Gegenteil! Sesko hängt sich bei RB voll rein. Aber: Die unsichere Zukunft war ihm zuletzt im Leipzig-Camp in Donaueschingen schon etwas anzumerken. Der Nationalstürmer grübelt. Auch, ob nicht doch ein weiteres Jahr in Leipzig mit einem auf ihn zugeschnittenen System Sinn machen würde.
Eigentlich galt der slowenische Nationalspieler als sicherer Verkaufskandidat, als einziger Spieler hat er letzte Saison verlässlich geliefert (21 Scorer in 45 Pflichtspielen). Intern hatte man sich auf seinen Abgang vorbereitet. Doch die Leipzig-Verantwortlichen hätten auch kein Problem damit, falls Sesko bleibt – trotz Einnahmezwang und internem Finanzziel von über 100 Mio. Euro.

Bay FC set NWSL attendance record: 40,091 take in clash vs. Washington Spirit at MLB’s Oracle Park
Getty Images The NWSL celebrated a new attendance record on Saturday with a sellout crowd of 40,091 at MLB's Oracle Park as Bay FC hosted the Washington Spirit. It is the second attendance record that Bay FC is a part of after being part of last year's then-record attendance (35,038) at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Bay were spoilers of the marquee matchup last year during their inaugural season and are now the sole owners of the highest attended match in NWSL history. The visitors won 3-2, with goals by Kate Wiesner and Croix Bethune. "Breaking the NWSL attendance record is a historic moment that extends far beyond a single match. It represents the foundation we are building at Bay FC and the legacy we hope to leave for future generations of players and fans. By pushing boundaries today, we are shaping what women's football will look […]
Where do Saints stand at QB after Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough finish preseason? Nowhere, it seems
Before Derek Carr abruptly retired this offseason, the New Orleans Saints were already angling toward a reset at quarterback. There were rumors, after all, of a potential Carr trade, and even after new coach Kellen Moore bore witness to the veteran restructuring his contract to stay put, the overhauled staff's endorsements of Carr were tepid at best. Change was due.The new hope arrived on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, when Moore and Co. handpicked Tyler Shough, of all prospects, to be the next potential face of the franchise. No matter that Shough was already 25 years old -- soon to be 26 now -- and fresh off a college career that ran seven -- that's right, seven -- seasons due primarily to a litany of injuries. At least he was something different.Except, at the dawn of the 2025 […]
Napheesa Collier injury update: Lynx star, WNBA MVP favorite upgraded to probable Sunday vs. Fever
Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP favorite Napheesa Collier has been upgraded to probable for her team's game on Sunday against the Indiana Fever. Collier, who has not played since Aug. 2 due to a sprained right ankle, is closing in on a return. She went through pregame warm-ups on Friday before being ruled out. Collier's injury, which occurred during the Lynx's historic 53-point win over the Las Vegas Aces, stirred controversy because it happened late in the third quarter with her team up by 43 points. Many wondered why Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve still had her superstar in the game. "I don't think about those things," Reeve said at the time. "It's the third quarter of a game on someone else's floor, I don't think the game is over. I don't think like that. She had a sub there and she wasn't […]
Neymar fica de fora da Seleção Brasileira por edema na coxa e torcedores desconfiam: “Uma lesão conveniente”
Neymar em ação pelo Santos. (Foto: Alexandre Schneider/Getty Images)De acordo com reportagem do Ge, o craque Neymar deve ficar mesmo de fora da convocação da Seleção Brasileira, nesta segunda-feira (25). Isso porque o camisa 10 sofreu uma nova lesão, edema muscular, durante o treino da última quinta-feira (21). Portanto, o Peixe já comunicou à CBF que o jogador terá que ficar no departamento médico, voltando apenas contra o Fluminense, no dia 31. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADETorcedores repercutem nova lesão de NeymarApesar da notícia da lesão de Neymar ser confirmada pelo Ge, os torcedores da Seleção Brasileira não acreditaram muito. Assim, muitos desconfiam de que o camisa 10 não ia para a lista de convocação por conta do seu desempenho.“Fica menos feio do que não ser convocado pelo Carletto”, comentou um torcedor sobre a notícia. Outro fanático disse: “Uma lesão conveniente para afastar […]
A’ja Wilson continues MVP push with another 30-point game to lead Aces to 10th straight win
A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces cannot be stopped right now. Wilson poured in 36 points on Saturday afternoon to lead the Aces past the Washington Mystics, 91-81, for their 10th consecutive win. Less than a month ago, the Aces were below .500, and on Aug. 2 they lost by 53 points to the Minnesota Lynx -- the second-largest defeat in league history. They haven't lost since then. Their 10-game winning streak, which is the Aces' longest since they moved to Las Vegas and the longest in the WNBA since 2021, has vaulted them into third place at 24-14. Instead of worrying about hanging on to one of the final playoff spots, the Aces are now right in the mix for the No. 2 seed and are in the driver's seat to earn homecourt advantage in the first round of the […]
Carson Wentz working out for Vikings: Why journeyman QB makes perfect sense as J.J. McCarthy insurance
It's not just wide receiver help the Minnesota Vikings are after. One day after closing their 2025 preseason, the NFC North contenders are hosting journeyman quarterback Carson Wentz for a free agent workout, as ESPN reported. It's the clearest sign yet that coach Kevin O'Connell and Co. are not satisfied with the current insurance behind first-time starter J.J. McCarthy.McCarthy, 22, is locked in as the starter in Minnesota after an uneven but altogether promising summer, but things behind him are murky. Sam Howell, the former Washington Commanders starter, was acquired via trade with the Seattle Seahawks as a would-be No. 2. And he flashed a lively arm in training camp. His energy didn't translate to steadiness, however, as evidenced by an erratic preseason in which he put the ball in harm's way and was generally outperformed by undrafted rookie Max […]
