Newcastle United are reportedly preparing to increase their offer for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, as they grow increasingly confident of sealing a deal.
According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, the Magpies’ latest proposal of €75 million plus €5 million in add-ons already meets Leipzig’s fixed valuation, putting them in a strong position.
Improved Offer on the Table
Newcastle’s original bid had matched Leipzig’s expectations in terms of fixed fee, but the club is now expected to enhance the overall package to secure the Slovenian forward’s signature.
The revised deal is expected to include more favorable terms for Leipzig in the add-ons and payment structure.
Šeško has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after young strikers, drawing attention from several Premier League clubs including Manchester United. However, United have yet to place a formal bid despite longstanding interest.
Newcastle Take the Lead
With Manchester United stalling, Newcastle are hoping to capitalize on the opportunity and finalize a deal before the window heats up further. Manager Eddie Howe is reportedly pushing hard for attacking reinforcements and sees Šeško as a crucial long-term investment for the club’s ambitions.
The Tyneside outfit remains optimistic that talks will progress swiftly, as Leipzig are open to negotiations if their financial conditions are met.
