News – Report – Man United ‘will sanction’ big-money signing before start of Premier League
The Red Devils wanted to know the player’s preference before moving in with an official offer and yesterday, they submitted a bid worth £74m for the Slovenian striker.
Their proposal is not higher than the bid made by the Magpies but the news source have mentioned that the 22-year-old star favors a move to Old Trafford.
Newcastle United are desperately looking to sign a striker to replace Isak, who wishes to move to Liverpool, but it seems that they will lose out to Man Utd in the race to lure Sesko.
Sesko to Man Utd could stop Isak’s move to Liverpool
As per The Mirror, Sesko’s move to Man Utd could scupper Isak’s dream to join Liverpool.
The Merseysiders initially made an offer worth £110million plus add-ons for the Swedish star, but it was turned down by NUFC, and the Reds will not be back until the Tyneside club sign a replacement.
The British outlet claim that this summer, Newcastle have already failed in the race to secure Mbeumo, Delap, Ekitike, Pedro, and Huijsen.
Now, Sesko is expected to snub them as well in order to move to Man Utd, much to the despair of Liverpool, who want Isak to replace Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan international is linked with a move to Saudi club Al-Hilal (The Athletic).
Man Utd spent £72m to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta two years ago, unfortunately, the Danish forward has proved to be a flop thus far.
They splashed the cash again to reinforce the strike-force by bringing in Joshua Zirkzee, but even he failed last season.
Will Sesko be a hit at Old Trafford? Only time will tell.
