Manchester United have joined the race to sign Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško, with Newcastle reportedly leading the race to sign the striker this summer.
Reports suggest that Newcastle made contact with RB Leipzig and have sent the club’s project to the player ahead of making an offer.
Newcastle are reportedly waiting for the 22-year-old striker to accept their proposal before making an official bid to Leipzig, having made initial contact last week.
The Toons are looking to sign the Slovenian striker, with Alexander Isak keenly seeking a move away from St. James’ Park.
Alexander Isak is reportedly desperate to join Premier League champions Liverpool in a deal worth about £120 million.
Manchester United, having shifted their attention to signing a striker following the arrival of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, are interested in bringing Benjamin Šeško to the club.
The Athletic reporter David Ornstein says the Red Devils prefer Šeško even though they have been linked to Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
Manchester United have reportedly asked for the deal conditions for Benjamin Šeško as they prepare to convince the player to join the club over Newcastle.
Benjamin Šeško scored 21 goals in 43 matches for RB Leipzig last season, with his transfer fee pegged at €70 million.
