The revelation of Benjamin Sesko’s transfer alters everything for Newcastle and Manchester United.
With numerous claims of new developments involving Newcastle and Manchester United, the story of Benjamin Sesko’s transfer has taken a new turn.
There is a new development in the Benjamin Sesko trade that could have a huge effect on Newcastle United and Manchester United.
The Bundesliga team is reportedly requesting £64.8 million for the services of the RB Leipzig star, who has long been linked to a move to the Premier League.
Once add-ons were agreed upon, Arsenal turned their attention to Viktor Gyokeres and eventually paid £55 million for the Sporting CP attacker.
The only teams left in the running for the Slovenian were United and Newcastle, but according to recent sources, the Magpies were about to lose out on yet another top target as the Red Devils stole the show.

However, after raising their personal conditions offer, Newcastle has now “taken the lead” in the chase for Sesko, according to transfer news expert Sacha Tavolieri.
According to the journalist, the North East team has “received the green light” from Sesko and will now expedite negotiations over a €90 million fee.
However, according to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie and The Athletic’s David Ornstein, a formal bid of £65.5 million plus £4.3 million in add-ons has been submitted.
Newcastle has won the race for Sesko after he chose to join the Champions League team, according to Slovenian publication Delo.
Craig Hope of the Daily Mail, meantime, has given a more thorough overview of the most recent developments in the case.
His most recent post on X states that Newcastle is now awaiting Sesko’s decision and has presented him with a package and vision; however, there has been no communication on his ultimate decision.
Newcastle is still hoping to acquire their man, but United is reportedly still “at the table” after being set as the favourites.
The Carabao Cup winners had to settle for the ongoing circus concerning talisman Alexander Isak, while they were unsuccessful in their attempts to recruit Hugo Ekitike and Yoane Wissa.
The Swede wants to move to Liverpool, but Eddie Howe has stated that Newcastle rejected the Reds’ £120 million approach.
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle is hoping he will stay at St. James’ Park even if he hasn’t joined them for preseason.
The only transfers Newcastle has made this summer are the loan signing of custodian Aaron Ramsdale and the £55 million acquisition of Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest.
Conversely, United has invested £133.5 million in Diego Leon, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha.
