Manchester United are close to a deal worth almost $100 million with RB Leipzig to sign Benjamin Sesko. Newcastle\'s more lucrative bid for Sesko was accepted by Leipzig, but he has made it clear he prefers a move to Manchester United.
Sesko scored 21 goals in all competitions last season for Leipzig and has recorded 39 goals and eight assists in 87 appearances for the German club since signing from RB Salzburg in 2023.
Newcastle would offer Sesko the opportunity to play Champions League soccer this season.
