Manchester United submit £74m bid for Benjamin Sesko

Manchester United have submitted an opening bid worth £73.85 million to sign RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko in the summer transfer window.

United have made it a priority to sign a striker before deadline day, with Sesko identified as their new priority target for the role. It is understood they have made an initial offer of €75m plus €10m in add-ons, which is lower than upfront fee Newcastle have offered for the striker.

Newcastle saw their opening offer of €75m plus €5m in add-ons rejected over the weekend and have submitted an improved offer of at least €80m to the Bundesliga club. With the two clubs prepared to pay the same overall fee for a transfer, Sesko's transfer preference will be the deciding factor in the deal and he must choose which team he would rather play for next season.
