MU advanced very close to recruiting striker Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig, despite the fierce competition from Newcastle United. A decisive factor that helps MU victory before “injecting” comes from a special term in the contract between Sesko and Leipzig.
Young striker Slovenia, Benjamin Sesko, has reached an individual agreement with MU, according to the information transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The contract is expected to be limited to June 2030.
Currently, the negotiation process between Man United and RB Leipzig is still happening. Although Sesko's contract with Leipzig is limited to 2028 and there is no provision in the summer of 2025.
It is reported that the agreement between MU and Leipzig is done. Specifically, the German team “nodded” with the number of 75 million pounds offered by the partner. In fact, MU is confident to have Sesko despite joining the game after Newcastle. Ineos knew that Benjamin Sesko's contract had a “gentleman” provision. Previously, it was believed that this provision was understood that Sesko would be allowed to leave if the team asked to buy in the top, but more realistic.
Specifically, the term includes a list of priority docks selected by Sesko. Naturally, MU knew and they did not even actively asked to buy text until the situation became necessary. The advantage for the Red Devils in this deal is probably in the attitude and psychology of Sesko. Sesko probably made it clear to MU that he wanted to join the Old Trafford team rather than coming to an emerging giant like Newcastle.
Newcastle took action first with the proposal worth 75 million euros plus 5 million surcharges. By the beginning of this week, “injecting” to raise the price to 80 million euros. Not stopping there, Newcastle continued to increase the price to 82.5 million euros plus 2.5 million euros fees, the price approved by RB Leipzig. It's just that Sesko's heart “nodded” with MU.
