Manchester United concluded an agreement worth 73.7 million pounds Sterling (85 million euros) with Red Bull Leipzig to sign Benjamin Sesko.
The agreement includes a guaranteed payment of 66.3 million pounds sterling (76.5 million euros) with the rest of the additional modules.
SESKO will now complete the formalities, in particular by undergoing a doctor, before finalizing his move to Old Trafford.
The 22 -year -old Slovenia striker, who was also wanted by Newcastle, scored 39 goals in 87 appearances for the German team Leipzig.
United signed the attackers Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo this summer for combined costs of around 130 million pounds sterling.
These payments were organized favorable to allow United to continue to spend, while the entire salary of £ 325,000 per week of Marcus Rashford is covered by its loan move to Barcelona.
United also received 5 million pounds from Chelsea after the blues withdrew from an agreement to sign Jadon Sancho.
And United could also collect an additional 50 million pounds by selling the Argentinian winger Alejandro Garnacho, who attracts the interest of Chelsea and was informed that he could leave Old Trafford this summer.
Their main striker last season, Rasmus Hojlund, was made available for sale for around 30 million pounds Sterling after scoring only 14 goals in the Premier League in two seasons.
SESKO’s decision to move to Old Trafford is a blow for Newcastle, who missed Hugo Ekitike in Liverpool and face their main attacker Alexander Isak potentially join him in Anfield.
