club.<\/p>\n<p>Romano claims that Sesko can leave for around \u20ac70million to \u20ac80million (\u00a361million to \u00a370million), with another \u20ac5million to \u20ac10million (\u00a34.35million to \u00a38.7million).<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, though, it\u2019s suggested that these terms are only applicable to clubs Sesko considers \u2018special\u2019, which may hint at a list of clubs being agreed when Sesko chose to stay a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear whether United fall into that \u2018special\u2019 category, but Vivell will certainly be trying to find out whether a move to Old
