Man Utd and Newcastle in talks with Sesko's management with offers expected very soon

Manchester United and Newcastle United are in talks with Benjamin Sesko's management this week as they prepare a bid for the striker.

Leipzig are not expected to allow the 22-year-old to depart on the cheap, with between 360M and 380M reported to be their asking price this summer as they seek to sell the Slovenian international who is widely regarded to be one of the best strikers in Europe.0

The Red Devils and the Magpies are keen to get a deal for a new striker over the line as talks advance this week. This is according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenburg who states that both clubs are presenting their project to the young striker.0

“Manchester United and Newcastle are currently in talks with Benjamin #Sesko‘s management. 0

“Both teams have presented their projects and financial offers. #MUFC 0

“The decision now lies mainly with the player and his camp. Offers are expected to be formally submitted to RB Leipzig following the verbal agreement. However, #NUFC pushing a lot.”0

Sesko was heavily linked with Arsenal until the Gunners shifted their focus to Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres. Now the door is wide open for United and Newcastle who are desperate to improve their attacking line.0

United have Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee scored just seven Premier League goals between them last season. Meanwhile Newcastle are set to lose Alexander Isak who scored 27 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions and will leave a major void in their side.0

Sesko scored 13 goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances last season and would drastically improve both sides who are said to be mulling over what is a complicated deal for the forward who would represent a marked improvement to either team.00
