According to Sky Sports reporter Jacobs, Newcastle is preparing to increase its quotation for Sesco and will make a quotation of more than 75 million euros + 5 million euros floating.

Newcartes is optimistic that the two parties can reach an agreement on the transfer fee and contract structure, and that the fixed transfer fee part has met Leipzig's valuation. Manchester United also held talks with Leipzig on Saturday night.

Both clubs are awaiting Cesco's decision, which is expected to be made soon. Newcastle now feels able to act quickly in club-level negotiations. United has not yet made any formal offer, but if Sesco nods his approval, the offer will follow. Leipzig has already known it.

Cesco is 22 years old and has made 45 appearances for Leipzig last season, scoring 21 goals and 6 assists. His current turnover is 70 million euros.
