According to British media talksport, Cesco's transfer fee is expected to be 70 million euros. Newcastle, who has failed to sign many times this summer, is worried that Manchester United will intercept it again.

The media revealed that Manchester United has started negotiations on Benjamin Cesco, after they sent a delegation to Germany to meet with the senior Leipzig. Manchester United signing director Christopher Vivier is pushing for the transfer against Sesco.

Chief Negotiator Matt Hargreaves arrived in Germany a few days ago and Manchester United realized they had to speed up the action as Newcastle was also pushing for the signing of Cesco. Negotiations with players are now underway as Manchester United step up their pursuit of a new No. 9 player.

Leipzig asked Arsenal for more than 80 million euros for Sesco earlier this summer's transfer window, and Gunners director Andrea Berta failed to lower the price. But Newcastle and Manchester United believe the transfer may be completed at a price of nearly €70 million. It is understood that "Magpie" has missed multiple key goals this summer, and they are worried that another transaction may be intercepted.

Cesco is one of Manchester United's two main goals to strengthen the front line this summer, the other is Aston Villa forward Oli Watkins, although talkSPORT learned that Amorin prefers the latter. But Villa doesn't want to sell the England striker, and Manchester United may still stick to negotiations and even use quotes to test the opponent's determination. They have not ruled out the possibility of making a formal offer for Watkins, although the offer will be below Villa's £60 million valuation.

Manchester United is still arguing whether to choose a Premier League player like Watkins who has proved himself, or a young No. 9 with a high potential ceiling like Sesco. Manchester United also had contacts with Arsenal and Chelsea last summer, but he chose to stay in Leipzig for another year.

The media also revealed that Manchester United is also negotiating with Dortmund, who is deciding whether to bid to re-sign Sancho. Sancho can now get around £17m, but its high salary will be expensive for any potential suitor.

Juventus is also negotiating with the Manchester United winger. Sancho is not the only striker Manchester United hopes to send away this summer, and Garnacho has also been told that he can leave the team. It is understood that the Argentine player also requested a transfer, and Villa is one of the clubs that are interested in him.
