Newcastle Resubmits Offer for Benjamin Sesko as Manchester United Contemplates Bid

Newcastle are actively pursuing a club-record transfer for Benjamin Sesko, offering at least £70 million to RB Leipzig. The club has received positive signals that the Slovenian striker is keen to join them, prompting a swift move to finalize the deal.

While Newcastle pushes ahead with negotiations, Manchester United remains interested in the 22-year-old. It is unclear what communication has taken place between Sesko’s representatives and United, but both clubs are still contenders, and the outcome is uncertain.

Leipzig initially received a £70 million bid over the weekend, which they are now negotiating to structure into a formal offer. Newcastle’s focus is to expedite the process, especially after being told that Sesko prefers to sign with them.

Despite Newcastle’s urgency, United’s interest has not yet translated into a formal offer, although they are considered potential contenders for Sesko’s transfer. The club’s management is monitoring the situation closely.
