Manchester United is said to be convinced that Benjamin Sesko wants to make the switch to Old Trafford after she wants to have submitted an offer of £ 73.8 million for the RB Leipzigster. Sesko is in the middle of a transfer fight between the Red Devils and Newcastle, with both clubs desperate to sign the rush hour.
Newcastle had rejected their opening bid at Sesko, but has since made an improved offer worth around £ 78 million. Manchester's offer is worth £ 65.2 million in advance plus £ 8.6 million in add-ons, while Newcastle is willing to pay an initial £ 69.5 million plus £ 8.6 million in add-ons.
However, the athletics reports that the range of Ruben Amorim & Co. Their appreciation of Sesko reflects and their conviction that he wants to join Newcastle. The Red Devils have moved to tackle their attacking misery this summer, because they were able to score only 44 Premier League goals last season.
In fact, only Everton and the three relegated clubs scored fewer competition goals than Amorim's silk. They have already signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who scored 35 league goals between them last season.
United Captain Bruno Fernandes, however, has demanded more signing sessions after their 2-2 draw with Everton in the preseason. “It has improved, but it is not where we want it to be,” Fernandes said after the game.
“It is a football game, there is always passion there. Whatever happens, happens. There was nothing spicy there, it is normal, it is part of the game. It has been positive [the US tour] And it's good to create a bond with the players. We looked a bit lazy today and we have to change that.
“I don't want to dig up anyone, but I think the club does the best what they can do in terms of all the financial situations they talk about. I don't know anything about it, I am not involved. But it was clear that we clearly needed more competition for the players who were here.
“We needed more quality to get everyone a little more and to do more to get into the starting line-up. I think that is what the club and the manager try to do and hopefully we can get one or two players to help with that.”
And Amorim agrees with Fernandes' verdict and says: “I am glad that the players have that feeling. It says they understand the situation. So it's a good feeling.
“It is understanding that everything is ups and downs in this club. We understand that, but I prefer that feeling [the ups] Then the other side. “
