Newcastle United want to learn Benjamin Sesko's preferred summer transfer within the next 24 hours after holding fresh talks on Sunday, according to reports. The RB Leipzig striker is set to decide whether he wants to join Newcastle or Premier League rivals Manchester United after becoming both clubs' priority target.

Manchester United are lining up their first offer for Benjamin Sesko after Newcastle started what RB Leipzig hope will become a “bidding war” for the striker. Newcastle have tabled an offer worth £69.8million including add-ons and United are said to be ready to match that bid after fresh talks with Leipzig over the weekend.

Manchester United may have been handed a potential boost in their efforts to sign RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, whom Newcastle United have identified a suitable alternative for.
