Manchester United have ‘won the race’ for Benjamin Sesko with the RB Leipzig striker picking the move to Old Trafford and with Fabrizio Romano revealing why Newcastle United have missed out on his signing.
It’s been a difficult summer so far for Newcastle, who have so far only added Anthony Elanga to their squad, with the winger arriving in a £55m deal from Nottingham Forest. And with Alexander Isak pushing to leave and now back in training with his former club Real Sociedad in a clear message to the Magpies over his intentions to leave.
Now it seems they are set to miss out on Sesko too; the man the Magpies had chosen as the striker best suited to replacing their talismanic Swede.
despite Newcastle making all the early running for the RB Leipzig front man, who, in talks with his agent, had made clear they were willing to meet his exit fee, wage demands and his representatives’ cut, it seems the striker has now rejected their offer in favor of waiting it out over a move to Manchester United.
Earlier, David Ornstein revealed that Man Utd are now ‘prioritizing a move’ for Sesko, with the journalist adding that ‘Alexander Isak wanting to leave St James’ Park’ has ‘accelerated the actions’ of the Red Devils to get a deal done.
And in the biggest claim of all, the Manchester Evening News now claims the Slovenian has picked Man Utd and made his ‘final decision’ to join the Red Devils.
