Newcastle and Manchester United have been at the center of one of the most talked-about tussles in the summer market, both with a common goal: to add Benjamin Sesko to their ranks. The Slovenian striker from RB Leipzig has been one of the most coveted pieces among Premier League clubs, and his future has sparked great anticipation in recent weeks. Ultimately, the scales seem to have tipped in favor of the Magpies, who have convinced the forward with an ambitious sporting project and a guaranteed presence in European competitions.

Despite persistent interest from Old Trafford's side, the continental scenario has been decisive in Sesko's decision. The absence of European tournaments from Manchester United has diminished the attractiveness of their proposal, allowing Newcastle to clearly lead the negotiations. The club from the north of England, continuing its growth after the injection of Saudi capital, sees Sesko as a key piece to strengthen its offensive line.

The transfer of the Balkan striker will close at around 75 million euros, a figure that Leipzig has maintained as the starting point throughout the operation. At 22 years old, Sesko has made an impact in the Bundesliga due to his physical power, goal-scoring ability, and international projection, arousing the interest of numerous teams across the continent. However, it is Newcastle that has managed to convince him to lead their attack from the next season onwards.

The official announcement could come in a matter of days, with the player already decided and both entities advancing in the final details of the agreement. For Newcastle, the signing represents a significant move towards establishing itself among the elite of European football.
