Newcastle have tabled a £78m bid for Benjamin Sesko
NEWCASTLE United are on the cusp of entering an entirely new transfer phase as they look to obliterate their club-record transfer fee on Benjamin Sesko.
As of last night, there had been no green light from RB Leipzig after an improved bid of €90m (£78.4m) for the striker. Newcastle's total package looks set to work out at a fixed fee of €80m (£69.7m) and £10m (£8.7m) in add-ons.
Manchester United responded with a bid of their own, potentially rising to €85m (£73.8m), with a guaranteed payment of €75m (£65.2m).
Newcastle's proposal would eclipse the £63m spent on Alexander Isak in 2022 and would place Sesko as one of the Premier League's most expensive purchases at the age of 22.
It would also be a statement of intent for a club seeking, desperately, to move closer to their rivals despite enduring a rather testing summer of transfer business.
