He was one of the soap operas of the moment and he is about to be concluded. In recent weeks, Benjamin Sesko has notably been coveted by Manchester United and Newcastle. The Slovenian striker was even close to joining the Magpies, who risk losing Alexander Isak, but he should finally take the direction of Old Trafford.

Indeed, an agreement was reached between the Red Devils and the RB Leipzig as indicated The Athletic. The Mancunians will pay 76.5 million euros as well as 8.5 million euros in the form of a bonus to afford the scorer, which leaves a season at 13 goals and 5 assists in 33 meetings of Bundesliga.

A new big check

The media specifies that Newcastle had also reached an agreement with the formation of the famous energy drink, but the player had given his favors to Manchester United. The discussions advanced positively and an agreement was reached this Thursday. A new weight reinforcement for Ruben Amorim, whose attacking sector has experienced a huge project this summer.

The Mancunians have indeed already put around 80 million euros in the pocket for Bryan Mbeumo, and 75 million euros for Matheus Cunha. With the arrival of Sesko, the Red Devils will have exceeded 250 million euros in spending just for their attack this summer.
