🚨🚨 BREAKING: RB Leipzig have REJECTED Newcastle United’s €75M + €5M add-ons offer for Benjamin Šeško, citing the proposal as “insufficient” due to the absence of a sell-on clause, a key demand in any potential deal for their prized striker.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: RB Leipzig have REJECTED Newcastle United’s €75M + €5M add-ons offer for Benjamin Šeško, citing the proposal as “insufficient” due to the absence of a sell-on clause, a key demand in any potential deal for their prized striker.

 

Newcastle’s aggressive push for Šeško hit a major roadblock after Leipzig firmly turned down their latest bid. While the financial package appeared attractive on the surface, Leipzig’s refusal signals their commitment to maximizing long-term value from the Slovenian international, who is considered one of the most promising young forwards in Europe.

 

Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Leipzig are not only holding out for a higher base fee but are also adamant about inserting a sell-on percentage, potentially in the region of 15–20%, into any deal involving the 21-year-old. The Bundesliga side sees Šeško as a long-term asset, and unless their valuation and conditions are met, they are not prepared to let him go this summer.

 

Meanwhile, Manchester United remain very much in the race for Šeško. Although the Red Devils have not yet submitted a formal bid, internal discussions are said to be progressing rapidly. United are aware of Leipzig’s requirements and may look to structure a proposal that includes the crucial sell-on clause to gain a competitive edge over Newcastle.

 

With the Premier League season fast approaching, the pressure is mounting on both clubs to secure a top-tier striker. For now, the ball remains in United’s court, and all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see if they can swoop in with an offer Leipzig can’t refuse.
