Premier League teams Newcastle and Manchester United are competing for RB Leipzig striker Sesco. German media Bild reported that the delegations of both clubs have come to Leipzig to talk on site to promote the completion of the transfer.
Manchester United and Newcastle are competing for 22-year-old Cesco. According to exclusive news from Biography, representatives of both clubs have arrived in Leipzig and checked in the hotel in the city centre.
The two teams' goal in recent days is to personally convince Sesco and RB Leipzig to agree to the transfer - not just by telephone, but by face-to-face conversations, which are out of respect and attention to the players. A final decision is expected to be made today, Thursday.
So which club will take this Slovenian player away? According to Bistro, Manchester United will win the battle for Sesco. The forward wants to join the Red Devils.
In terms of finance: the overall quotes of the two clubs are around 85 million euros, at the same level. Newcastle has a slight advantage in terms of the possible bonus terms of reality, and they want to sign Sesco anyway. But Manchester United's advantage is that the players themselves are determined to join them.
End, the deal will be reached at a total transfer fee of 85 million euros. However, the two sides also need to conduct final negotiations, especially the conditions for the payment of the bonus: for example, it is more likely that the player can achieve a certain number of appearances than winning the Champions League championship.
RB Leipzig's sports director Sheffield certainly wants to obtain financial planning certainty. After a bad season of just seventh last season, completing a transfer of this size this summer will be a very strong signal.
And a professional player with good character like Cesco will realize his Premier League dream. As for why he chose Manchester United, the report said that although they only ranked 15th in the league last year, the club is still very attractive to the players. It is a giant in the world football world: Manchester United has the largest stadium in the Premier League (74,879 seats), and currently has 150,000 people on the waiting list for the season ticket. It's a legend, and Sesco wants to be part of it.
By the way: For Manchester United professional team director Christopher Vivier, this will be his "hat trick" in the transfer of Sesco. He brought Cesco to Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 and to RB Leipzig in 2023. Now all parties are hoping that the deal will be as successful as the previous two times.
