Man Utd 'ready to match' Newcastle's offer for Benjamin Sesko after Magpies see opening €80m bid rejected by RB Leipzig

<p>It was reported that Newcastle submitted an €80m bid for Sesko, including €5m in add-ons, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/newcastle-brutal-transfer-blow-80m-bid-benjamin-sesko-man-utd-rb-leipzig/blt724adf6001a7d869" target="_blank">Leipzig rejected it due to concerns</a> over the payment structure. <a href="https://x.com/philipphinze24/status/1951942161525600763" target="_blank"><em>Sky Germany</em></a> has now reported that Manchester United have yet to submit a formal offer, but have made it clear to the Bundesliga side that they are willing to match Newcastle's bid. Talks have continued with all parties throughout the weekend.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1951939038706811186" target="_blank">Journalist Ben Jacobs</a> added that Manchester United held discussions with RB Leipzig on Saturday evening and remain in direct contact. The report also added that Newcastle are optimistic their improved structure will get a deal over the line. The Bundesliga side welcome the interest from the Premier League duo, seeing potential for a bidding war to further raise the price for Sesko.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE
