Newcastle's 80 million euro offer for Benjamin Sesko did not meet the valuation level that RB Leipzig's manager team offered to the Slovenian striker.
The Athletic reported on Saturday that Newcastle made the first offer to RB Leipzig's striker Benjamin Sesko, including 75 million EURO in advance and 5 million euros of potential surcharges. However, RB Leipzig shook his head before the first auction from Newcastle.
Newcastle's attention for the 22 -year -old Slovenian player takes place in the context of the future of the main striker Alexander Isak is still unstable, when the Swedish player wants to leave St. James' Park this summer. As revealed by The Athletic, Newcastle rejected the official offer worth about 130 million euros from Liverpool for Isak. Even so, the Premier League champion still dragged Isak to the end and expected to make the next suggestion soon.
Man United also cared about Sesko and the Slovenian striker has not made a firm decision about his favorite destination. Sesko was watched by Arsenal before the North London team decided to recruit Viktor Gyokeres for 63.5 million euros plus 10 million euros.
Sesko's contract with RB Leipzig has been limited to 2029, after he signed a new contract last year, which included an agreement that allows him to move to another team if he received an appropriate offer. In addition, Sesko's previous contract had a contract to release a contract worth 65 million euros.
The Slovenia player joined RB Leipzig in 2023 from RB Salzburg, when both clubs were owned by Red Bull Gmbh Group. He had 87 appearances for RB Leipzig, scoring 39 goals and 8 assists. Sesko had the launch of Slovenia on her 18th birthday and scored 16 goals after 41 matches, each representing its country in U21 Europe 2024.
