Manchester United is about to sign Sesco with special terms

According to transfer expert Romano, Manchester United is very close to signing Slovenian young striker Benjamin Cesco from Leipzig, despite fierce competition from Newcastle United. The key to helping the Red Devils win in this battle is a special clause in the contract between Sesco and Leipzig.

It is reported that Sesco himself has reached an agreement with Manchester United on personal treatment, and the new contract is expected to last until June 2030. At present, negotiations between Manchester United and Leipzig are still in progress. Although Sesco's contract with Leipzig will last until 2028 and there is no public termination clause in the summer of 2025, Manchester United is still confident that they can complete the deal.

It is reported that Manchester United and Leipzig have basically reached an agreement, and the Red Devils' offer of £75 million plus additional fees has been approved by the Bundesliga club. It is worth mentioning that although Manchester United takes the lead in the competition, they have a key advantage behind it - INEOS Group (Manchester United owner) clearly knows that Sesco's contract contains a "gentleman clause".

Previously, it was generally believed that this clause allowed Sesco to leave the team when there was a top club to buy it. But the actual situation is more specific: the terms clearly list a list of priority clubs selected by Sesco himself. Manchester United knew this well and did not even rush to make a formal offer in the early stage, but waited patiently for the time to come.

What really gives Manchester United the advantage is the players' own wishes. It is reported that Cesco has clearly expressed his strong desire to join Old Trafford to Manchester United. Compared with the "upstart" Newcastle, he prefers to choose Manchester United with a brilliant history and global influence.

Newcastle United took the lead in taking action, with the initial offer of 75 million euros plus 5 million euros surcharge. Earlier this week, they raised their offer to €80 million. Subsequently, Newcastle once again increased its surcharge to 82.5 million euros plus 2.5 million euros, which amount has met Leipzig's psychological expectations and has been recognized by the club.

However, football is not just a game of money. Although Newcastle's bid is higher and has been approved by the club, Sesco's heart has long belonged to Manchester United. At present, the young forward can officially put on the Red Devils' battle suit just after completing the final procedures.
