Leipzig striker Sesco is about to join Manchester United. German media Bild reported that during the negotiations, Leipzig sports director Sheffield successfully made Manchester United promise to play a friendly match at home in Leipzig, and the team will receive another 2 million euros in related income, and Leipzig will receive 90 million euros in the entire transaction!
For three consecutive days, Manchester United and Leipzig had head-on negotiations, and now the contract has finally been settled: 22-year-old Sesco switched to Manchester United and signed a contract to 2030.
Photograph said that Leipzig received a transfer fee of 85 million euros. In addition, Manchester United also bears the so-called "solidarity mechanism tax" that needs to be paid during transfers, with the amount of 3.5 million euros.
Leipzig's approach is also very smart: Sports General Manager Schaffer negotiates until the final details, without any slacking off. And it successfully made Manchester United promise a friendly match in Leipzig. Typically, this can also generate more than 2 million euros in revenue. By this calculation, Leipzig received a generous reward of up to 90 million euros!
According to Biography exclusive report, since Tuesday local time, Manchester United's delegation has arrived in Leipzig to strive for Sesco, hoping to express his extreme importance to it. However, the delegation from Newcastle also came to Leipzig, and they kept hoping until the end, but eventually returned empty-handed.
