In the transfer poker for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, Newcastle United have now submitted their first official offer, according to the media. The English Premier League club is said to have offered 75 million euros plus five million euros in bonuses, as reported by the British broadcaster Sky Sports News and the portal "The Athletic". The 22-year-old is considered the ideal solution for the striker and, at over 80 million euros, would be the most expensive transfer in the club's history.
In addition, it was reported that Manchester United could now also enter the poker game with their own offer for the Slovenian international. According to the report, Sesko is open to both options, but Newcastle play in the Champions League, while Manchester missed out on a place in an international competition after a disastrous season.
