Manchester United has reached an agreement in principle with RB Leipzig to sign 22-year-old striker Benjamin Sesko. The transfer battle between Manchester United and Newcastle United, both of whom submitted offers for the player, concluded with Sesko choosing Manchester United. The deal is reportedly valued at approximately €85 million ($98.8 million). Sesko, known for his aerial ability and high potential, is expected to undergo a medical examination soon as part of the transfer process. Meanwhile, Newcastle United, owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), face increased competition in the Premier League as PIF-backed clubs are set to exceed £500 million in spending following Darwin Nunez's pending move to Al Hilal. Additionally, Manchester United are pursuing other transfer targets such as Carlos Baleba from Brighton, aiming to strengthen their midfield.
