Telegraph: Manchester United s total price is 85 million euros quotation Cesco, Manchester United & Newcastle believes that it is the first choice for players
According to the British media Daily Telegraph, Manchester United gave RB Leipzig striker Sesco a offer of up to 85 million euros, and Leipzig is evaluating the offer of Manchester United and its competitor Newcastle, and the players will ultimately decide who to choose.
report said that Manchester United finally took action against Sesco, and they made a offer of up to 85 million euros (£73.9 million) and believed the striker was willing to join them.
Less than 24 hours before this, Newcastle had offered an enhanced offer for the RB Leipzig striker: at least €80 million (£69.5 million) fixed fees plus additional terms up to €10 million (£8.7 million).
It is understood that the offer proposed by Manchester United is a fixed transfer fee of 75 million euros (£65.2 million), plus an additional clause of 10 million euros (£8.7 million). Although Newcastle's total price is higher, it is not clear whether the additional terms of the two clubs will be actually fulfilled.
Leipzig is "evaluating" both offers, but given that they are in the same price range, the final decision will depend on Sesco and his broker.
It is reported that the Slovenian striker has not officially informed Leipzig or any club of his choice. However, all parties hope he can make a decision on Tuesday.
Manchester United and Newcastle both believe they have become the top choice for the 22-year-old, and the final decision may depend on who can provide a better financial plan and salary.
Previously, Manchester United's initial offer was directly rejected by Leipzig, and the outside world also expected that they would respond to Newcastle's second offer. Although both quotes have not been accepted at present, it is reported that the amount of the quote is close to the psychological price of Leipzig.
Newcastle's first offer was 75 million euros plus additional terms. They hope to increase their forward strength and insisted that this was not to replace Isaac's signing. Newcastle last week rejected a £110 million offer for Isaac, and stressed that their price tag for the player was £150 million that could not be negotiated.
Liverpool said that given Newcastle's position, they will not make a second offer, but whether this position will change if Eddie Howe gets another striker remains to be seen.
In Manchester United, compared with Watkins, they chose to give priority to promoting Cesco's transfer. The players were previously one of Arsenal's goals, who eventually turned to pursue Yorke. The report also pointed out that Manchester United has been worried about falling into a bidding war with Newcastle, and they were determined to determine whether Sesco is keen to join them before taking action.
On Sunday, Manchester United CEO Berrada said that club sporting director Wilcox and his recruitment team are working "day and night" to further strengthen the team's roster. United had hoped to sign Drapp in the early summer, but the striker turned them down and chose to switch from Ipswich to Chelsea for a transfer fee of £30m.
