Newcastle United have made a significant push to sign Benjamin Sesko, offering him a five-year contract and the promise of a key role in a potential two-striker system as they seek to rebuild their attacking line-up. This move comes amid rising urgency due to Alexander Isak’s desire to leave, with Newcastle aiming to reinvest Isak’s potential transfer fee to secure both Sesko and Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson before the transfer window closes. However, Manchester United remain serious contenders, with sources reporting that Man Utd’s interest could further complicate Newcastle’s pursuit in the coming week[1].
Meanwhile, Manchester United have reportedly progressed to ‘concrete conversations’ with Sesko, including face-to-face meetings, as the club ramps up efforts to secure the striker’s signature. These developments signal an imminent conclusion to the transfer saga, with both Premier League sides intensely competing to finalize the deal[2].
