However, it is Newcastle who have moved decisively, submitting a structured offer that has met Leipzig’s financial demands, believed to be a total package worth €90 million, including add-ons.
Sesko has already made a firm decision to join the Tyneside club, having been impressed by Newcastle’s long-term project, guaranteed game time, and Champions League ambitions.
Personal terms between the player and Newcastle have already been agreed, making Leipzig’s green light the final step before the move can be officially announced.
Alexander Isak to leave for Liverpool now?
Newcastle view Sesko as a key piece of their future, with the club determined to build a squad capable of consistently competing on both domestic and European fronts.
With Alexander Isak linked with a move away from the Magpies, Eddie Howe and his recruitment team have looked aggressively in the market for a new striker and now it appears like they are getting their primary target.
With final confirmation from Leipzig expected imminently, Newcastle fans may soon have a new number nine to cheer at St. James’ Park, one with the potential to lead the line for years to come.
