The English football media is buzzing as a major transfer battle unfolds between Newcastle United and Manchester United for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old has shown immense potential in the Bundesliga, and both Premier League clubs are in advanced talks to secure his signature.
Reliable journalists Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein have confirmed that the decision now lies solely with Sesko. Interestingly, despite Newcastle offering UEFA Champions League football next season, reports suggest the Magpies are beginning to fear that the Slovenian forward may choose Manchester United instead.
The Red Devils, who will miss out on European football next season, are banking on their rich history and global status to lure Sesko. Some reports indicate that the striker is a long-time admirer of United, which could play a decisive role. On the other hand, Sesko is also believed to be carefully weighing his future, with Newcastle’s Champions League spot providing a tempting opportunity to showcase himself at the highest level.
As things stand, Sesko has not made his final decision, and speculation continues to swirl. Whether he prioritizes United’s prestige or Newcastle’s European ambitions, the summer transfer window promises to deliver a blockbuster outcome.
Manchester United OR Newcastle United? Where do you think Sesko will end up?
