Reporter: Sesco is unwilling to disclose his preferences for Manchester United in case he cannot reach an agreement with Leipzig

According to reporter Marco Alcaraz, Manchester United still has an advantage in the competition for Cesco, while the players have not yet made a final decision.

Manchester United and Newcastle both submitted contract content to Sesco, including salary and long-term sports, and are waiting for players to reply. Newcastle also submitted a formal offer of £65 million plus £5 million to Leipzig, but was rejected by the other party as "too low".

It should be noted that there is a gentleman agreement between Sesco and Leipzig. For a few "special" clubs recognized by players, the transfer fee can be reduced to 60 million to 70 million pounds, plus a bonus of 4 million to 8 million pounds. However, according to sources, Newcastle is not in this special ranks, which means they cannot enjoy the discount.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has informed Leipzig that once the players clearly express their willingness to join, they will immediately make an offer. Newcastle’s offer was seen as a show of strength, showing their willingness to meet Leipzig’s asking price and match Sesco’s personal requirements, but the players have not made a clear decision.

It is certain that Sesco will leave Leipzig this summer. According to sources close to the players, Sesco tends to join Manchester United, but he is reluctant to disclose his preferences in case United can't reach a deal with Leipzig. Competition is still open at the moment, but Manchester United is in a good position.
