FootballTransfers on MSNMan Utd transfer news: Benjamin Sesko 'definitely an option' as €100m bomb drops
Sesko’s asking price was initially set at this benchmark but has since dropped to €70m. This falls closely in line with his €69.6m Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) and suggests the Old Trafford side would get fair value if they were to complete a deal around this price.
With the Gunners’ interest now withdrawn, RB Leipzig have reportedly slashed their asking price. Earlier in the window, Leipzig were hoping to land a fee between £68m and £85m for the player, who hit 13 Bundesliga goals last season. That price has dropped, however, with offers of £60.6m (€70m) now considered viable.
Atlético Madrid are in the lead for Manchester United winger Antony's signature. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.
German media suggest that Sesko could be available for around £60-70 million, a drop from his previous valuation. The Red Devils have been monitoring the player for several years and even made an approach last summer, only to be told that Sesko was staying put in the Bundesliga.
