Newcastle are looking to beat Man United in the race for Benjamin Sesko. A €72m offer is also ready to land on RB Leipzig’s table.
Newcastle Move First for Benjamin Sesko
Newcastle United are exploring a move for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. He scored 21 goals in all competitions last season as he had a fantastic year in Germany.
Newcastle and Manchester Utd are both looking for a new striker. Sesko has become a top name on their shared wishlist. But, it’s the Magpies who are wasting no time and making the moves.
Reports suggest they are preparing a bid worth around €72m. They are looking to match Leipzig’s valuation. This puts Eddie Howe’s side in a strong spot to get a deal over the line before United.
Newcastle are said to have already agreed personal terms with the player. This means things can be completed quickly if the offer is accepted.
Man United Could Fall Behind
Newcastle press forward, but Manchester United are stuck waiting. The Red Devils cannot make a formal move for Sesko until they sell few players first. Meanwhile, Antony is being linked with a move to Saudi side Al-Nassr. This delay allows the Magpies to have a clear advantage, and they are going to make the most out of it.
Sesko himself is reportedly open to the idea of joining Newcastle. That is especially with the promise of regular football and a project built around young talent. If Howe’s side seals the deal, it could open the door for Liverpool to chase Alexander Isak. That said, Newcastle are taking efforts to sign a capable replacement.
With everything lining up in their favour, Newcastle United could pull off one of the summer’s smartest transfers. For Man Utd, they need to move fast if they want to land the Leipzig striker.
