The RB race Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko is officially warming up. Newcastle United reportedly submitted a formal offer worth € 75 million plus € 5 million in the supplements-the response of Leipzig for the 22-year-old Slovenian striker. It is the first specific move in what is formed as one of the largest summer bits for transmission.
Sesko comes from a strong season with Leipzig, counts 21 goals and provides six assists in all competitions. His mixture of physical presence, smart movement and clinical completion attracted the attention of the several best European clubs, especially in the Premier League.
Manchester United is also believed that he is seriously interested in bringing Souche to Old Trafford. Despite the signing of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United’s attack still lacks consistency, especially with Rasmus H¸jlund, who has been trying to find the net since the second half of last season. While United has not yet made an official offer, the news suggests that they are considering a lasting step – although financial restrictions and the need to interpret players could affect their timeline.
In the possible reversal, it is said that RB Leipzig is open to H¸jlund on the loan within the wider negotiating package. This could work in favor of United if they decided to intensify their persecution SESKO. Meanwhile, the reported pressure to move to Chelsea adds Alejandro Garnacho another layer of intrigue to the United Summer Enterprise.
Since Newcastle makes the first brave move, Manchester United may soon be forced to action if they want to keep up. Meanwhile, the ball is in court in Leipzig – but Saga Sesko is far from over.
