The summer transfer window is heating up as Newcastle United have officially entered the race for Benjamin Sesko, submitting a €75 million bid plus €5 million in add-ons — matching RB Leipzig’s valuation of the Slovenian striker.
According to multiple reports, this is the first formal offer for the 22-year-old forward, whose breakout season has made him one of Europe’s most sought-after young talents.

Sesko’s 2023–24 Season in Numbers
- 21 goals in all competitions
- 6 assists
- Known for his strength, intelligent movement, and sharp finishing
Sesko’s performances have drawn strong interest from Premier League giants, particularly Manchester United, who have been monitoring him closely throughout the summer.
Where Does Manchester United Stand?
Despite their interest, Manchester United have not yet submitted a formal bid for Sesko. The Red Devils recently signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, but attacking inconsistency remains an issue — especially with Rasmus Højlund struggling since the latter half of last season.
Potential Swap or Loan Deal?
Intriguingly, reports suggest RB Leipzig may be open to taking Højlund on loan — a move that could ease negotiations if United decide to accelerate talks.
At the same time, Alejandro Garnacho’s rumored interest in joining Chelsea could shift United’s summer transfer strategy even further, potentially freeing up funds or space in the squad.
Newcastle Make the First Move
With Newcastle stepping up with a concrete offer, the pressure is now on Manchester United to respond. The Magpies have shown serious intent and are clearly aiming to strengthen their squad for a potential Champions League push next season.
Conclusion: Sesko Saga Just Getting Started
Benjamin Sesko’s future remains uncertain, but the competition is clearly heating up. Newcastle’s €75M offer has set the bar, and Manchester United must now decide whether to match it, negotiate, or risk losing out on one of Europe’s most promising young strikers.
Stay tuned — this Premier League transfer race is just getting started.
