Manchester United’s battle with Newcastle United for the signature of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko took a huge twist this evening according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

An opening bid worth €75million plus €5million in add-ons was deemed insufficient by Leipzig, leading Newcastle to raise that to at least €80m.
Sesko is also wanted by Manchester United, but a proposal has yet to arrive from Old Trafford and the figures they have indicated a willingness to pay are lower than those of Newcastle at present.”
