Newcastle United in Advanced Talks for RB Leipzig Striker Benjamin Šesko

Newcastle United are trying to sign Benjamin Šesko from RB Leipzig. Talks are still ongoing, and there could be news in the next few days.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Newcastle are close to making a deal with Šesko‘s representatives and RB Leipzig. They want to sign the Slovenian striker this summer. The club needs more attacking players after a mixed season. Newcastle could soon make an official offer, as they are planning a move for Šesko before next week. Reports say Šesko is also interested in Manchester United, but Newcastle are still in the race.

SEASON SO FAR FOR NEWCASTLE AND ŠESKO

Newcastle finished 5th in the Premier League last season, qualifying for the Champions League, after a strong campaign in which they faced various challenges, including injuries in attack. The club wants to rebuild before the new season. Šesko had 18 goals and 5 assists at RB Leipzig last season, making him one of the most desirable young forwards in Europe. RB Leipzig finished 7th in Germany and could now lose a key player if the clubs reach an agreement.

WHAT’S NEXT IN THE TRANSFER SAGA?

The talks between Newcastle, Šesko, and RB Leipzig will continue this week. Newcastle is hoping to make an official offer soon. He could be their biggest signing this summer before their season opener against Aston Villa, who finished 6th last season. Newcastle need to have a good start to the season and could use a new player. Fans will watch the club’s next move closely, as well as any response from Manchester United, still hoping for a chance to speak to the player.
