Newcastle’s Sesko Bid Below Leipzig’s €75M Asking Price

Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
August 2025

Newcastle United have submitted a bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko that falls short of the club’s €75 million valuation, with add-ons and a sell-on clause expected to push the deal past €80m. Newcastle view Sesko as a top replacement option should Alexander Isak depart. Manchester United are also in the race for the 21-year-old, who remains one of Europe’s most coveted young forwards this window.
