The chief negotiator Matt Hargreaves came with United a few days ago that they had to move quickly, with Newcastle also urging Sesko’s signature.
The talks will now also take place on the player side when United rises her persecution of a new No. 9.
Leipzig quoted Arsenal a price of more than € 80 million for Sesko when sports director Andrea Berta could not reduce the price.
But both Newcastle and Manchester United believe that a transfer could be possible for € 70 million.
After the magpies have already hit a number of their main goals in this window, it means that another deal fear that another deal could be kidnapped.
Sesko is one of two active options for Manchester United, together with Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, although talk sport understands that Ruben Amorim would prefer the latter.
Villa does not want to sell the England striker, but United can still exist with conversations and even test that is determined with an offer.
You have not yet excluded to submit a formal offer, even if a GBP of Villa’s 60 million GBP rates.
At United, you will continue to discuss an internal debate about whether you should choose a proven Premier League experience or a younger No. 9 with a high ceiling like Sesco.
United, together with Arsenal and Chelsea last summer, also made an approach for Sesko, but he decided to stay in Leipzig for another year.
