The competition to sign highly rated RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesco is escalating with a quick, predictable final decision from players.
According to trusted transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both Newcastle United and Manchester United are firmly in the mix to secure the signature of one of Europe’s most popular forwards this summer, the 22-year-old Slovenia International.
Newcastle told RB Leipzig last week that it was ready to meet the German club’s 75 million euro valuation. This is a number that includes guaranteed pricing and add-ons.
Newcastle United remain active in Benjamin Sesco Chase
Additionally, the Magpie is ready to agree with the personal terminology proposed by the Sesco camp, indicating its determination to land the young striker as part of an ambitious plan.
However, Man United has not stepped back from the race. Romano reports that Red Devils has been in active contact with RB Leipzig and is ready to launch a formal bid if Sesko shows she prefers a move to Old Trafford.
With both Newcastle and Mann United looking for new strikers this summer, Sesco has emerged as their top forwarding target.
Eddie Howe has one eye on the situation of Alexander Isaac. If the Swedish international striker leaves the club this summer, Sesco will be his ideal replacement. Magpies have rejected the first official bid for Liverpool’s star player, but his long-term future at St. James Park remains uncertain.
Man United has serious interest in RB Leipzigster
Meanwhile, Reuben Amorim wants a new and trusted attacker after the failures of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
It is expected that Sesko’s decision will be his personal preference, not just financial terms.
Both clubs can offer attractive projects. Newcastle offers United with an exciting rise under Eddie Howe and Champions League ambitions and promises of a leading role in global height and rebuilding Amorim.
Leipzig will resign to losing his striker this summer, but they are awaiting Sesco’s final verdict along with both Premier League suitors.
