Newcastle makes its first crazy offer for Benjamin Sesko

Newcastle United has made a strong move in the summer transfer market, aiming directly at the signing of Benjamin Šeško. The striker from RB Leipzig, considered one of the offensive gems of European football, has received a formal offer from the English club that exceeds 90 million euros, a figure that reflects both the urgency and ambition of the Magpies' project.

The proposal is divided into 80 million fixed plus 10 in variables, as journalist Fabrizio Romano reported. Amidst this move, Šeško's name appears as the ideal candidate to replace Alexander Isak, who has requested his departure and is being closely monitored by Liverpool. If completed, the deal would mark one of the most significant transfers of the summer in the Premier League.

Manchester United remains in the race

However, Newcastle is not the only one in the race. Manchester United has made it clear to RB Leipzig that they will enter the bidding if the player gives the green light to their interest. Pressure on the player's environment is increasing, and the final decision seems to depend solely on Sesko himself. The Red Devils want him to form a top-tier offensive trio alongside two other signings: Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.

The Slovenian is coming off a remarkable season with the German club, where he scored 21 goals and provided six assists in 45 matches. His physical power, finishing ability, and future potential make him a coveted piece for several European giants. The Premier League appears to be his next destination, but the jersey is yet to be chosen. The clock is ticking, and the battle for his signing is heating up.
