According to Sky Sports, Manchester United and Leipzig signed a principled agreement on Cescoda. The player is about to sign a five-year contract with an initial transfer fee of 76.5 million euros, plus an EUR 8.5 million floating clause. Sesco is expected to fly to the UK on Thursday night and undergo a medical examination within the next 24-48 hours.
Manchester United are very happy to have reached the deal, they do not want to get involved in the bidding with Newcastle, and the initial transfer fee paid in the end is lower than Newcastle's second offer (EUR 80 million). United officials were impressed by Sesco's desire to join, and negotiations made progress when the player made it clear that he only wanted to join Manchester United.
And Manchester United only hopes to introduce players who are willing to become part of their future, whether they are qualified for the Champions League or not. United football director Wilcox played a key role in facilitating the deal with Sesco, recruiting head Vivier and chief negotiator Hargreaves completed the final signing in Leipzig.
Manchester United's signing of Cesco may have an impact on the future of Newcastle striker Isaac, because Newcastle will only release the transfer after signing a replacement. At the same time, Manchester United striker Hoylen's future also has questions. The club is said to be willing to listen to a suitable offer for him. Leipzig is interested and has discussed the loan conditions.
