The battle for Benjamin Sesko’s signature is reaching a decisive stage, with Newcastle United now pushing hard to finalise a deal with RB Leipzig.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the Magpies are prepared to improve their current offer of €75 million plus €5 million in add-ons, and there is growing optimism that an agreement on both the fee and structure is within reach.
Newcastle’s initial proposal already matches Leipzig’s valuation in terms of the fixed fee, but the two clubs continue to work on the finer details regarding add-ons and payment structure.
Newcastle United are making big moves to sign Sesko
Encouraged by progress in negotiations, Newcastle believe they are now in a strong position to close the club-to-club side of the deal swiftly, provided the player gives his approval.
However, the race is far from over. Manchester United remain in the frame and held direct talks with RB Leipzig on Saturday evening.
While United have not yet submitted a formal bid, club sources suggest that an official offer is ready to be launched if Sesko signals his intention to move to Old Trafford. Leipzig are fully aware of United’s intentions, keeping the door open to both suitors.
The final outcome now rests with Sesko himself. The 22-year-old Slovenian striker is expected to make his decision soon, with both clubs eagerly awaiting his verdict.
