They followed that up with an improved bid worth \u00a369.7m (\u20ac80m), plus add-ons. Leipzig have reportedly accepted that offer.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the player is said to be favouring a move to Old Trafford rather than St. James&#8217; Park.<\/p>\n<p>Fabrizio Romano&#8217;s latest report states that Leipzig and United are in direct talks over the prospective transfer, with personal terms already agreed between Sesko and the Red Devils.<\/p>\n<blockquote

Magpies are set to miss out, with Jackson now moving to the top of their list of transfer targets.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues reportedly value the 24-year-old at between \u00a380m and \u00a3100m, and while they are open to sanctioning a departure if an acceptable proposal is tabled, they are in no rush to sell, as he remains under contract at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2033.<\/p>\n<p>Reports claim that there is a growing expectation that Jackson will leave ahead of the new campaign though, with Newcastle now leading the race to land the Senegal international.<\/p>\n<p>The Magpies are in the market for a striker amid the prospective departure of their star man, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/alexander-isak-next-club-odds-liverpool-favourites-done-deal\/\">betting suggesting that Alexander Isak to Liverpool is a done deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It also comes following their failed move to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, with the Frenchman instead opting to join Liverpool for an initial \u00a369m fee last month.<\/p>\n<h2>Nicolas

betting sites<\/a>, the former Villarreal star is at 1\/2 to join the Magpies, while he is at 7\/2 to stay at Stamford Bridge and 7\/1 to join Unai Emery at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United and Juventus follow in the market at 10\/1 to secure his signature.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside interest from Europe, Jackson has been subject to links with a move to Saudi Arabia. He is currently rated at around 12\/1 to join any team based in the Middle Eastern nation.<\/p>\n<p>AC Milan, who are said to have been offered the chance to sign the forward this summer, are at 16\/1 to complete a move before the transfer window slams shut.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the likes of Real Madrid, Arsenal, Napoli and Galatasaray, who have all previously been linked with Jackson, are rated as outsiders, all priced at 25\/1 or more to sign him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle are considering making a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with Manchester United closing in on a deal to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
