Benjamin Sesko's 'true price' emerges as Fabrizio Romano reveals Man Utd's stance

The details of a new offer for Benjamin Sesko have emerged with Fabrizio Romano dropping an update on Manchester United's interest in the RB Leipzig star.

Over the last few weeks, Sesko, 22, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.

Having previously been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, it appears now that Sesko's hopes of playing in the English top flight will be hinged on either the Red Devils or Newcastle United.

The Magpies are looking to sign a new striker with star man Alexander Isak itching for a move away, having been linked with Liverpool.

Meanwhile, United are looking for a new no.9 to lead Ruben Amorim's side.

The Slovenian is one of the most sought-after strikers in the world, after impressing in the Bundesliga.

During the 24/25 season, Sesko managed 21 goals and six assists in 45 appearances across all competitions for Leipzig.

On Sunday night, it was reported that Newcastle had tabled an improved bid for Sesko.

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg revealed the figures and structure of the new offer.

He wrote on social media: "EXCL DETAIL | Understand Newcastle are now offering €80m guaranteed plus €10m in add-ons for Benjamin #Sesko.

"NUFC are pushing hard. They are increasing the intensity, but the player has yet to make a final decision. Manchester United remain keen on signing him. It is said that both clubs are battling for his final yes."

What did Ruben Amorim say about Benjamin Sesko?

Speaking recently on United's pre-season tour of the United States, Amorim was asked about the links to Sesko.

He said: "The important thing is Rasmus (Hojlund) is scoring goals. I don’t know what will happen until the market is closed."
