Manchester United are advancing in talks with RB Leipzig over a deal to sign Benjamin Sesko, after making an offer worth an initial £65 million Euros plus £8.9 million Euros in add-ons.
Newcastle have also been working on a deal for Sesko, and earlier on Tuesday made a second bid of £69.7m plus add-ons, which was higher than Manchester United’s – after an initial offer of just under £70m plus add-ons.
However, Manchester United have moved their base fee closer to £69.6m, plus possible add-ons, in talks with Leipzig, Sky Germany report. The structure of the offer is still being discussed so Leipzig have not yet accepted Manchester United’s current bid.
