Newcastle, August 4 – Newcastle United have given Benjamin Šeško a 48-hour deadline to decide on his future, as the Magpies ramp up efforts to land the RB Leipzig striker.
Eddie Howe’s side are now increasingly confident of striking a deal with the Bundesliga club, but are unwilling to let the situation linger into the latter stages of the week without a clear resolution.
Manchester United remain in the frame, though no formal bid has been submitted. As of Monday morning, discussions between Leipzig and interested parties have been limited to verbal contact, with suggestions that a formal offer from United is not imminent.
Šeško’s future is expected to become clearer in the coming days, with Newcastle pushing for a swift answer to avoid being drawn into a prolonged transfer saga.
