One of the most sought-after strikers in the world at this moment is RB Leipzig’s forward Benjamin Sesko who has been on the radar of Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Both Premier League clubs are in desperate need of a striker before the start of the 2025/26 season. Manchester United and Newcastle United have both submitted their bids for Benjamin Sesko but the player is yet to make a final decision on which club he wants to play for next season.
How much did Man United and Newcastle bid for Sesko?Manchester United submit formal bid for Benjamin Šeško worth €85m package, add-ons included. On the other hand, Newcastle submitted a €90 million bid for the player.
However, Manchester United supporters can sleep with both of their eyes closed because there is a possibility that Sesko might be moving to Old Trafford.
How will Manchester United convince Benjamin Sesko?Manchester United hope their director of recruitment Christopher Vivell will be their secret weapon in their bid to sign Sesko from Leipzig. Vivell was the first person that signed him for the Bundesliga side.
And before Leipzig, when Vivell was at Red Bull Salzburg, where he reportedly discovered Sesko when he was a 16-year-old and signed him from Slovenian club Domzale.
The relationship between both of them could make Vivell United’s secret weapon in negotiations. Sesko might prefer to join United having worked with Vivell in the past.
The forward player has a huge decision to make between United and Newcastle as he prepares to leave Leipzig after two seasons. He scored 21 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions last season. The 22-year-old was left out of Leipzig’s friendly clash against Atalanta this weekend amid ongoing speculation.
