Bild reported on Monday that Benjamin Šeško of RB Leipzig has expressed interest in joining Manchester United and Newcastle United.
According to a German newspaper, both the Red Devils and Newcastle United’s proposals are convincing Leipzig. They are waiting for the striker’s decision, which might come on Thursday.
A new Bild report details Manchester United and Eddie Howe’s efforts to persuade the 22-year-old.
The two clubs’ plans total roughly €85 million, with Newcastle marginally ahead due to realistic bonuses. The Magpies are anxious to capture his services, but they will face a tough battle against Ruben Amorim’s side.
Bild reports that representatives from both clubs have already checked into hotels in Leipzig. Their goal is to persuade both the Slovenian international and the Bundesliga club of the deal.
The Premier League duo believe it is preferable to speak in person rather than over the phone, out of respect for the frontman. According to the article, Šeško is likely to make an official decision on Thursday.
According to Bild, Manchester United are likely to win the race since the player prefers to join them over Newcastle.
Leipzig will discuss the operation’s bonuses after Šeško makes his final choice. It has been claimed that they would rather it be related to the number of appearances than anything like winning the Champions League.
Once Šeško affirms his decision, these things should be resolved fast. However, it’s worth recalling that Arsenal and Sporting CP took nearly a week to resolve similar issues with Viktor Gyökeres.
