TA: Manchester United is close to signing Cesco, Leipzig accepts Newcastle s offer of 85 million, but he wants to go to Manchester United
TA famous reporter Ornstein reported that Leipzig accepted Newcastle's 85 million offer for Cesco, but the player hopes to transfer to Manchester United and is now waiting for Manchester United to raise the offer.
Currently, Newcastle and Manchester United have offered quotations of a total price of 85 million euros, with the fixed amount of 82.5 million euros (2.5 million euros surcharge), which has been accepted by Leipzig. Manchester United's previous offer was 75 million fixed + 10 million floating, with a total price of 85 million euros.

Cesco is 22 years old. He played 45 times for Leipzig last season, scoring 21 goals and 6 assists. His existing contract with Leipzig expires in 2029. The current valuation of the player German transfer is 70 million euros.
