Newcastle, Man Utd Eye RB Leipzig Striker Sesko Amid Transfer Uncertainty

News summary

Benjamin Sesko, the 22-year-old striker for RB Leipzig, remains a highly sought-after talent for Premier League clubs Manchester United and Newcastle United, though a transfer this summer appears uncertain. Both clubs are looking for a forward: Manchester United’s pursuit depends on the potential departure of Rasmus Hojlund, while Newcastle needs a replacement for Alexander Isak, who is considering a move to Liverpool. Despite interest, Leipzig is reportedly prepared to hold on to Sesko due to his value and the club's aim to return to European competitions, with a transfer fee estimated around £60-70 million. Sesko himself prefers staying at Leipzig for now, valuing the club’s playing style and development opportunities, and has a say in which clubs he might consider, with a so-called 'gentleman’s agreement' limiting his move to only 'special clubs.' Newcastle is actively preparing a proposal and sees Sesko as a key target, though Manchester United’s prior interest has cooled somewhat after past rejections and concerns over the player's readiness and price tag. Sesko has impressed teammates and continues to develop, making him a potential future star should a suitable transfer materialize.
