As the final weeks of the season get underway all across Europe, Liverpool are starting to put their transfer plans into the next phase.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds look likely to do some big business this summer as they aim to build on their Premier League winning campaign.<\/p>\n

With just a few weeks left in which to gather up to the minute data on players, these could be crucial days in shaping Liverpool\u2019s<\/a> summer strategy.<\/p>\n

Whatever happens, though, Liverpool are virtually certain to bring in a new centre-forward ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak is the dream for Liverpool<\/a>, but with the Swede more likely to stay at Newcastle, the Reds may have to pivot.<\/p>\n

One of those being mentioned as an alternative to Isak is RB Leipzig\u2019s Benjamin Sesko<\/a>. And as the transfer noise grows ever louder around him, Sesko bulleted in a brilliant finish on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

According to The Daily Mail<\/a>, Liverpool scouts were in Germany this weekend in order to watch Sesko in action against Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have been heavily linked with Xavi Simons<\/a>, too, and The Mail report that the Reds had a presence in Leipzig on Saturday to run the rule over both players.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s likely the Liverpool talent spotters will have liked what they saw. With just 11 minutes on the clock, Simons and Sesko linked up to give Leipzig the lead.<\/p>\n

Breaking out following a poor touch from Michael Olise, Simons sent the ball into the channel for Sesko to chase.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately, the Slovenian found himself one-vs-one with Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig. Around 40 yards from goal, though, Sesko still had plenty to do.<\/p>\n

Most players would have taken a touch and headed towards Urbig, but not Sesko. Latching onto Simons\u2019 perfect pass, the 21-year-old hit it first time with the outside of his right boot. With the goalkeeper so far from home it sailed beautifully into an empty net. What. A. Goal.<\/p>\n

Sesko underlines Liverpool interest<\/p>\n

This scouting trip certainly ended up being worth it for Liverpool. They saw the unpredictable brilliance of Sesko in a microcosm.<\/p>\n

Moments like these are why the former RB Salzburg striker could be worth Liverpool paying his \u00a366m<\/a> release clause this summer.<\/p>\n

There is plenty of magic in Sesko\u2019s boots and at such a young age he is surely only going to get better.<\/p>\n

Having said that, it doesn\u2019t feel too much of a stretch to suggest that a certain Darwin Nunez would also have attempted a similar finish when in Sesko\u2019s position here.<\/p>\n

There are similarities between Nunez in 2022 and Sesko in 2025 which should make Liverpool think twice before diving in. Still, this was some finish.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the final weeks of the season get underway all across Europe, Liverpool are starting to put their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[5758,94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-71828","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-benjamin-sesko","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114445328489002473","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
