Newcastle United bid for Sheshko, the last storm eye in the summer window

Written by Hanbing 22-year-old Slovenian center Xie Shikor may become the "first domino" to promote the transfer chain of top forwards in the summer city. After Newcastle United's first offer was rejected last Saturday, on the evening of August 4, British time, famous transfer experts Romano and British Athletics both disclosed that the Magpies submitted their second offer. The quotation of 90 million euros (80 million + 10 million) is enough to make Seschko's parent team RB Leipzig tempted. The Daily Mail even claimed that Newcastle United hopes to finalize the deal within 24 hours, which also means that Isaac will clear the final obstacles when he leaves the team.

Newcastle United's search for a replacement must accelerate because Isaac insists on leaving the team and the Premier League is about to open. Newcastle United set a 48-hour deadline for Sheschko's transfer on Monday, and they will make other plans if an agreement cannot be reached on Wednesday. Newcastle United hopes to make a high enough offer to meet RB Leipzig's expectations at one time. Saudi Arabia's funder confirmed that the basic transfer fee of 80 million euros was paid in one lump sum, and the floating terms of 10 million euros were settled within 12 months.

British media revealed that RB Leipzig is ready to accept this irrefutable offer and informed Sheschko to make a decision as soon as possible. Sheshko was absent from RB Leipzig's recent warm-up match when handling transfers and also informed his teammates that he would leave the team for transfer. The Magpies hope to make a quick battle. Their previous signing targets Mbemo, Joo Pedro and Ekitic were all taken away. Once this pursuit of Seschko also failed, they must leave time to operate a deal with Visa (Brentford) or Gonzalo Ramos (Paris Grand).

Sheschko's team tends to be more influential Manchester United, but joins Newcastle United to play in the Champions League in the new season. Manchester United recruitment director Vivier once led the 2019 franchise of Selschko at Red Bull Salzburg, which is considered to be Manchester United's "connection" advantage in fighting for young centers. Faced with Newcastle United's aggressiveness, Manchester United has not given up. On the afternoon of August 5, Athletics Network of Britain said that Manchester United had submitted its first offer (75 million + 10 million euros), as expected lower than Newcastle United's offer. Of course, Manchester United also has a plan B. Watkins (Aston Villa), Vlahovic (Juventus) and Jackson (Chelsea) are all alternatives.

Now, the decision-making power of this center-strike deal with a transfer fee of at least 85 million euros falls into Xie Shiko himself. He was like being at the center of a big storm, waiting quietly for the finale.

His agent Barsanovic is nervously negotiating personal benefits with two Premier League giants. Newcastle United's weekly salary quote is 250,000 pounds (annual salary of 15 million euros), almost twice the current annual salary salary of Sesco (8 million euros), while Manchester United's initial weekly salary quote is only 130,000 pounds (9 million euros), which is quite low in competitiveness. The Magpies also set up a Champions League appearance bonus for Sheschko, with a single game of up to 500,000 euros. Although Manchester United followed up with the offer, they were at a disadvantage in terms of the amount and payment method. Slovenian media Delo has even announced that Seshko will become the new Alan Shearer.

29 years ago, Hiller (15 million pounds) set the Newcastle United history and Premier League transfer fee record. Now Seshko will break the Newcastle United history transfer fee record (70 million euros) maintained by Isaac. At the same time, Seshko will also significantly break his own record of transfer fees for Slovenian players (24 million euros). If all floating clauses are activated, he will tie with Croatian central defender Gvadior to become the player with the highest transfer fee in the Balkans.

Once Xie Shiko's transfer is successful, he will become the first domino to be knocked down, triggering a series of transfers from the top forwards in the summer city.

First of all, Isaac's England record transfer. Although Newcastle United rejected Liverpool's first offer, they also knew that they could not keep the players. After signing the replacement of Seshko, Isaac's transfer income will balance the summer investment of the Magpies Legion. At the same time, Manchester United, which still needs to introduce centers, will also turn to pursue replacements, which will also generate a large deal of at least 60 million euros. In addition, Isaac joining will accelerate Liverpool's forward cleaning. Nunes' transfer to the Saudi league will bring at least 70 million euros, and together with Dias, "fill in" Isaac's transaction expenses.

In addition, Paris Saint-Germain, which plans to let Muani go, is also looking for a new efficient center due to the setback in the Club World Cup. Juventus and Tottenham are both interested in Muani, and Juventus is also looking for the next home for Vlahovic. Juventus recommended Serbian center to Manchester United. The Red Devils' response was that they would only consider it after missing Seschko. Now Vlahovic's next home is Milan. It can be said that Xie Shiko's transfer has affected the fate of at least four giants and four top centers. Everyone was waiting for his domino to fall down as soon as possible, resulting in a series of chain reactions.
