According to reporter Ben Jacobs, Manchester United and Leipzig reached a principled agreement on the transfer of Sesco.
Ben Jacobs wrote on social media: "Manchester United and Leipzig reached a principled agreement on the transfer of Sesco, with a transfer fee of 76.5 million euros plus an additional clause of 8.5 million euros, as David Ornstein reported."
"Sezco had obtained a clearance before signing a five-year contract with Manchester United. Christopher Vivier was a key figure in the deal. Manchester United refused to be involved in the bidding war and maintained a good relationship with Leipzig in negotiations."
"It is understood that the additional clause of about 5 million euros is easy to achieve, which means that Leipzig can consider obtaining 81.5 million euros, which is not much different from the fixed fee of Newcastle's 82.5 million euros offer."
