Follow the team: Manchester United helped Leipzig give Salzburg a 10% second transfer, and also bears related miscellaneous expenses

Hupu, August 8, Leipzig People's Daily RB Leipzig team reporter Guido Schäfer wrote a column on Sheshko's departure.

(below is his abstract column)

For Newcastle United, driven by Saudi Arabian rich investors, they are already the top Premier League and qualified for the Champions League;

For Manchester United, they have legendary stars such as Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane, but they do not have the Champions League qualification?

Newcastle's bid may be higher than Manchester United, which is not poor, and is owned by the wealthy Glazer family and billionaire Sir James Arthur "Jim" Ratcliffe. However, money is no longer the decisive factor; the player chose Manchester United!

For RB Leipzig, the advantage is that the bidding war between the two teams has pushed up the transfer fee, making it far higher than the player's recent expiration of €70 million.

RB Leipzig will sell the player who transferred from Salzburg Red Bull for 85 million euros in 2023 for a price of just over 20 million euros. Negotiations with the Red Devils include performance-based bonuses and who will bear the 10% second-transfer clause of Red Bull Salzburg.

It is obvious that the sexy Manchester United bears this part of the funding, so Sheshko is the second most expensive player in Leipzig's history, not exceeding Gwadior's 91.5 million euros.
