Newcastle are interested in Sesko<\/a> but they are not alone in that. <\/p>\n Indeed, Sesko also has interest from Manchester United<\/a> and the Red Devils certainly have previous when it comes to making life difficult for Newcastle<\/a> this summer. <\/p>\n Both Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have moved to Old Trafford after significant links with a move to St James\u2019 Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n They remain in the running for Sesko<\/a>, who appears to have reacted positively to their interest.<\/p>\n According to German football expert Florian Plettenberg on social media platform X, Ruben Amorim\u2019s side are refusing to give up on the idea of signing the 22-year-old this summer. <\/p>\n They have presented the player with what are being described as \u201cclear figures\u201d and their project. <\/p>\n Sesko is said to have been impressed by the discussion. <\/p>\n Newcastle are reportedly refusing to back down and will submit an offer when they get encouragement. Leipzig, for their part, want at least \u00a369million for his services. <\/p>\n Manchester United are not giving up on Benjamin #Sesko<\/a>. As revealed today, #MUFC<\/a> have presented the player with clear figures and their project. Sesko is impressed by ManUnited\u2019s efforts to sign him.<\/p>\n However: Newcastle are fully in the race and not backing down.
