After Newcastle United, it is now Manchester United’s turn to get into the fray. The Red Devils have reportedly submitted a bid to RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko, valued at €85 million.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed this bid. United always maintained a firm stance in this transfer situation. They were saying that if Sesko accepts the Red Devils, then they will send an official bed.
After Romano, now, David Ornstein from The Athletic also confirms this news that Manchester United have submitted a bid. This will give a clear indication that Sesko might have chosen Manchester United over Newcastle and has given a green light to the Red Devils.
Also, the Red Devils were reportedly ready to place a bid for the Slovenian. Last night, Newcastle sent a massive bid for Sesko. Leipzig received a bid of around €90 million for the 22-year-old.
After that bid, Newcastle were firm favourites to sign the young striker. However, with this bid from the Red Devils, it looks like the tables might turn in their favour.
However, it is important to mention that RB Leipzig has already rejected a bid from Newcastle worth around €8o million. So, it will not be a surprise if Leipzig rejects this bid from Manchester United.
The German club already have a €90 million bid on their table. They were expecting a bid from Manchester United, which has now arrived. Now, in terms of money, Leipzig might accept the Newcastle bid.
But this is where the decision from Sesko might come into play. If Sesko rejects Newcastle United and chooses Manchester United, Leipzig will have to start negotiating with the 13-time Premier League winners.
Ultimately, everything boils down to what Benjamin Sesko decides for his future.
