Newcastle United set to break Manchester United hearts by making €72m offer.
Manchester United have been interested in Benjamin Sesko, but Newcastle United are set to break their heart.
If anyone was told at the end of the 2024/25 season that Manchester United would finish 15th in the Premier League, probably no one would have believed it. They also lost to Tottenham Hotspur of all people in the Europa League final and are now out of European competitions in the 2025/26 season. Ruben Amorim took over as manager mid-season, but by then the situation had deteriorated a lot. Now the question is—will this club be able to stand on its feet again?
There was some hope in the summer transfer window. By signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United displayed that they want to attack again. Young Diogo Leon has also joined the team, which gives a glimpse of the future. However, the real problem is the same as last season—the lack of a clinical striker. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have both failed to satisfy expectations, leaving the club looking for a new number nine.
Newcastle United make the first move for Sesko.
enjamin Sesko has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for some time now, but now Newcastle United have moved ahead in the race. Santi Aouna reports that the Magpies have made an initial offer of €72-74m to RB Leipzig. That’s close to Leipzig’s asking price, so they stand a good chance of completing a deal. However, the decision is Sesko’s own – will he wait for Manchester United or choose Newcastle United
