Jurgen Klopp Signing Could Leave Liverpool if Man Utd Transfer Sparks Domino Effect - Liverpool Echo

ENGLAND, AUG 5 – Newcastle United and Manchester United both made bids exceeding £70 million for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko as clubs compete to strengthen their Premier League attacks.

  • Manchester United is actively pursuing a transfer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko ahead of the September 1 deadline.
  • The club's need for a reliable striker follows last season's low goal tally and competition with Newcastle United for Sesko's signature.
  • United has submitted a bid just under £74 million, while Newcastle reportedly offered over £82 million, with Sesko favoring Manchester United.
  • Former assistant manager Rene Meulensteen suggested Manchester United needs a striker who can deliver immediately and named Ollie Watkins as an alternative.
  • If the Sesko deal falls through, United plans to consider other targets like Watkins or Nicolas Jackson while continuing negotiations with Leipzig.
