Newcastle United is on the brink of securing one of the most important signatures of the summer, with RB Leipzig expected to accept a 90 million euro deal for highly rated striker Benjamin Sesco.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the magpies are only waiting for final approval from Bundesliga’s side to complete what will be the club’s landmark transfer.
Sesko is one of Europe’s most talked about forwards in this window, attracting attention from several Premier League clubs, including longtime Manchester United.

However, it is believed that Newcastle has moved decisively, submitting a structured offer in response to Leipzig’s financial demands, and is a total package worth 90 million euros, including add-ons.
Sesko has already made a firm decision to join the Tyneside Club, impressed by Newcastle’s long-term project, game-time guarantees and Champions League ambitions.
Personal terms between players and Newcastle have already been agreed, making it the final step before officially unveiling Leipzig’s green light before moving.
Will Alexander Isaac leave for Liverpool now?
Newcastle saw Sesco as an important part of their future, and the club decided to build a team that could consistently compete on both domestic and European fronts.
With Alexander Isaac’s move away from the magpie, Eddie Howe and his recruiting team look aggressive in the market for the new striker, and now it appears they’re gaining a major target.
With a final confirmation from Leipzig evacuation, Newcastle fans can soon have a new number 9 to cheer at St. James Park.
