\u201cManchester United sent official bid to show serious, concrete intentions to RB Leipzig\u2026 following Newcastle \u20ac90m bid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cSources at Man United believe \u0160e\u0161ko is keen on the move and have decided to move forward with a formal bid.<\/p>\n
\u201cNewcastle and United, are awaiting his official decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
The offer from United was approved internally after key individuals at Carrington learned that \u0160e\u0161ko is receptive to transferring to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
While specific details concerning United\u2019s bid remain undisclosed, it is believed to be competitive, particularly with Newcastle having also submitted an \u20ac80m + \u20ac10m add-ons package this week, as previously reported by Softfootball.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old is well-regarded for his clever movement, strong physique, and poise in finishing, qualities prioritized by United\u2019s recruitment team following Anthony Martial’s departure and Rasmus H\u00f8jlund\u2019s erratic performances.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Newcastle remains actively in the running. Their bid is still valid, and \u0160e\u0161ko has yet to dismiss the promising project at St James\u2019 Park under Ruud van Nistelrooy. However, the balance may now shift towards United, who moved quickly upon receiving positive indications from the player\u2019s agents.<\/p>\n
RB Leipzig has not established an official deadline but anticipates a decision in the coming days as \u0160e\u0161ko considers both sporting opportunities. Leipzig is amenable to selling this summer, but only on their terms, and has no interest in activating a release clause discount or engaging in a player exchange.<\/p>\n
