Manchester United have made an official offer of around €85 million for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, including add-ons, according to several sources, including Bild and The Athletic.
The bid from The Red Devils follows two offers from Newcastle United, who reportedly returned with an improved bid on Monday.
Reports vary on the value of Newcastle’s second offer, with figures ranging from €85 million to €90 million all in all.
Šeško didn't train with the Leipzig squad on Tuesday afternoon and instead worked individually amid the growing transfer speculation.
It's now up to the Slovenian striker to make a decision on his future. His contract expires in 2029.
