There is no full agreement yet, but discussions heading in a positive direction.
Newcastle have also been working on a deal for Sesko, and earlier on Tuesday made a second bid of £69.7m plus add-ons, which was higher than Manchester United’s – after an initial offer of just under £70m (€80m) plus add-ons.
The structure of the offer is still being discussed so Leipzig have not yet accepted Manchester United’s current bid.
Sky Germany believes it would need further improvement – while Newcastle’s offer of a guaranteed of £69.6m (€80m), plus add-ons, meets the requirements.
