JAKARTA - Manchester United has contacted RB Leipzig to get Benjamin Sesko.
ESPN said formal negotiations had not yet started, but Manchester United had contacted the Bundesliga club to explore financial demands against the striker.
RB Leipzig reportedly set the price for the 22-year-old Slovenian international player between 80 million euros (Rp 1.5 trillion) and 90 million (Rp1.6 trillion).
The price is likely too expensive for the Red Devils, who hope to achieve compromise over transfer fees.
Newcastle United are also interested in Sesko, but Manchester United are confident they will win the competition.

Sesko has scored 39 goals in 87 games for Leipzig since joining Red Bull Salzburg in 2023. He has scored 27 goals in two seasons in the Bundesliga.
In addition, Manchester United also showed interest intensive Watkins. The 29-year-old is considered a cheaper choice - and proven in the Premier League.
However, Aston Villa personally confirmed that the British striker was not available this summer.
Meanwhile, the chances of the arrival of other young strikers will further worsen Rasmus Hojlund's future.
The Danish has struggled to score since his move from Atalanta in 2023 and has been interested in Napoli and Juventus this summer.
