Story So Far
Manchester United have yet to table an official bid for the 22-year-old, though they have verbally expressed their intent to make an offer. United's interest signals their ambition to bolster their attacking options, with Šeško's prolific goal-scoring record and versatility making him an attractive prospect for Ruben Amorim's side. However, their failure to submit a formal bid leaves them trailing in negotiations for now.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have taken a more concrete step, putting forward a €75 million offer, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons, according to the report. Despite this significant proposal, RB Leipzig have made it clear that the bid falls short of their valuation. The Bundesliga club is holding firm, demanding a higher fee for their prized asset, who has also attracted attention from other top European clubs.
Šeško, who has impressed with his pace, physicality, and clinical finishing, is now at a crossroads. With Leipzig unwilling to let him go on the cheap, the young striker holds the key to his future. All parties involved—Manchester United, Newcastle, and RB Leipzig—are now waiting for Šeško to make his decision, which will shape the next phase of his career.
