The total price for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who has been offered by Manchester United, could reach 85 million euros (£73,8 million).
A 75 million euro (£65.25 million) guarantee is included in the offer.
The Slovenian international, 22, is keen to move to Old Trafford, but they are yet to receive a response despite receiving a response.
In addition to their ongoing negotiations with Leipzig, Newcastle United have made an offer in the region of 80 million euros (£69.5 million).
Manchester United’s offer is seen as significant because it was suggested they did not want to strengthen their relationship with Leipzig without knowing the forward would be a part of them.
Sesko would add significant physical presence to the Old Trafford side with his 39 goals in 87 appearances for Leipzig.
Even though Sir Jim Ratcliffe claimed earlier this year that the club had the potential to go bankrupt by Christmas without significant cost-cutting measures, Manchester United sources have previously outlined how it is possible for them to come to an agreement on Sesko.
The payment terms for the total £130 million deals between Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo from Wolves and Brentford this summer have been favorable.
Marcus Rashford’s entire £325, 000-per-week salary is being covered by his Barcelona loan, and Manchester United received £5 million from Chelsea after the Blues cut a deal for Jadon Sancho.
Sesko is wanted by Man Utd and Newcastle, but why?
With 39 goals in 87 games, Sesko is currently the top scorer under the age of 23 among players in Europe’s top five leagues. He moved to Germany.
Florian Wirtz, who left Bayer Leverkusen for £100m this summer, is one step ahead of Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and is five clear of him.
Sesko is big, strong, quick, agile, and a strong finisher, and not just because they both played for Salzburg.
He scored more goals last season than he did last year, with only 9.7% of his touches coming from the opposition box, compared to 17% the previous year.
He expanded his involvement in midfield and on both wings.
He had the best aerial success rate of all strikers in at least 60 of them and was one of the Bundesliga’s fastest at 35.7 km/h.
Even though Sesko ranks 16th in the Bundesliga in the expected goals, 14th in the shots, and 22nd in the touches in the opposition box, only six forwards have scored more goals in the past two seasons.
And he can kill himself at long range, making 36.6 percent of his shots from outside the box and 23.1% of his goals from there. In the previous season, both players had goals totaling 12 or more than any other Bundesliga striker.
A recruitment specialist at the highest level recently said, “I don’t think the Premier League’s physicality will overawe him.
Although he is one of the top three in the world when it comes to stepping up to the top, he has the physical stamina to do so.
