Sesko leaves Man United and Newcastle stunned

According to Sky Sports, Benjamin Sesko has made a decision about his future. The Slovenian striker chose... both Man United and Newcastle, instead of giving his opinion on a specific destination. That means he has agreed with both English giants, both verbally agreeing.

Sesko's next destination will depend on the transfer agreement between the home team RB Leipzig and the two Premier League representatives. Man United has just officially made an offer worth 85 million euros, including 75 million paid immediately and 10 million in additional fees, with 5 million easily achieved due to only satisfying the number of appearances.

For their part, Newcastle have submitted an offer of 90 million euros, including 80 million upfront and 10 million in add-ons. Overall, The Magpies still have a slight advantage in this deal. Man United are not in the Champions League so it is difficult to raise the price higher.

The race for the 22-year-old striker's signature is very tense and unpredictable. In case of a successful "blockbuster" detonation, Newcastle will likely accept to release Alexander Isak, who is creating a bad atmosphere in the dressing room, to Liverpool.

In the last two seasons playing for the reigning Serie A champions, the striker born in Buenos Aires was given many opportunities but failed to show much. Specifically, Giovanni played 28 and 30 times in Serie A respectively but only contributed 1 goal each season.
