Team Note: Newcastle has never been confident of getting Cesco. He originally wanted to sign him before Manchester United quoted

August 8th, Newcastle team reporter Hope wrote an article about why Newcastle missed Sesco.

Newcastle suffered consecutive setbacks this summer in the search for a new striker. Following Drap Jr., Joao Pedro, Mbemo and Ekitic, Cesco also joined the list of attackers who rejected Newcastle.

"Since last week in South Korea, I have reported that Newcastle believes that the Slovenian striker is more inclined to join Manchester United. Why? Newcastle staff is very clear whether the player really wants to join. Just like Ilanga before, his wishes can be determined from the exchange, but Newcastle has never had this confidence in Cesco. On Monday, they had received positive signals that Sesco was willing to sign, so they tried their best to finalize the terms with Leipzig without a quote. But what happened next? As expected, Manchester United made a offer the next day. Sesco is about to join Old Trafford, and Newcastle once again cleaned up the mess in frustration. "

" Considering that Manchester United may not be able to follow up on the offer, Newcastle is understandable to strive for it. If Manchester United did not take action, Sesco would have joined Newcastle, but when his preferred team came to make a offer late, Newcastle knew he had been eliminated."
