Man United, Newcastle Raise Bids for Sesko

Manchester United and Newcastle United are competing for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, each submitting bids around €80 million (£69.5m) including add-ons after Newcastle's initial €75m plus €5m in add-ons bid was rejected. Leipzig's sporting director has confirmed strong interest from several clubs, and Sesko has been excluded from recent training sessions and friendlies as negotiations continue. The final decision on his transfer now rests with Sesko, who is reportedly open to either Premier League club. Manchester United prioritize Sesko as a marquee signing despite already strengthening their attack this summer, while Newcastle's pursuit comes amid uncertainty over Alexander Isak’s future. Manchester United may turn to Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic if they fail to land Sesko. The situation remains fluid as both clubs await Sesko's decision.
