The summer transfer window is heating up as Manchester United and Newcastle United go head-to-head in the race to sign Benjamin Sesko. The RB Leipzig striker has emerged as one of Europe's most sought-after talents following an impressive season in the Bundesliga.
Why Sesko is in High Demand
The 21-year-old Slovenian international has been turning heads with his clinical finishing and physical presence. Standing at 6'4", Sesko combines aerial dominance with surprising agility, making him a nightmare for defenders.
Manchester United's Interest
Erik ten Hag sees Sesko as the perfect addition to bolster United's attacking options. With Anthony Martial's future uncertain and Rasmus Højlund needing support, the Red Devils are prepared to break the bank for the young striker.
Newcastle's Ambitious Move
Not to be outdone, Newcastle are showing serious intent under their new ownership. Eddie Howe wants to add firepower to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League, making Sesko a prime target.
The Transfer Stakes
Sources suggest RB Leipzig will demand around £55 million for their prized asset. Both English clubs have the financial muscle, but Sesko's preference could prove decisive in this transfer tug-of-war.
With pre-season approaching, this battle between two Premier League giants promises to be one of the summer's most intriguing transfer sagas.
