MANCHESTER United have made an offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko after Newcastle submitted a second bid for the Slovenia international, suggest reports.
The race for the highly-rated 22-year-old is heating up as the Premier League clubs battle to bolster their front lines.
It is understood Newcastle made a second approach to Leipzig after seeing an initial offer reportedly worth 75million euros (£65.1m) with a further 5m euros (£4.3m) in potential add-ons - rejected last week.
That improved offer of at least 80m euros (£69.5m) has been followed by Ruben Amorim's United pursuing their longstanding interest with a bid of their own.
