Benjamin Sesko snubs Newcastle with fee agreed for Man United move
Benjamin Sesko makes transfer decision amid Man United and Newcastle battle
- Manchester United have agreed a £66.5m fee with RB Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko, with the potential to rise to £73.7m with add-ons.
- Sesko is set to become Ruben Amorim’s third major summer signing, pushing United's transfer window spending beyond £200m.
- The Slovenian striker chose Manchester United over Newcastle United, marking another transfer setback for the Magpies this summer.
- Sesko, who scored 21 goals for RB Leipzig last season, is expected to agree on personal terms for his move to Old Trafford.
- His acquisition aims to strengthen United's attack, as their main centre-forwards scored only seven Premier League goals combined last season.
