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 Drapp 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 are 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 Sesco. On Monday, they received positive signals that Sesco was willing to sign, so they tried their best to go with Leipzig when Manchester United had not yet made a offer. Finalize the terms. But what happened next? As expected, Manchester United put forward the offer the next day. Cesco is about to join Old Trafford, and Newcastle once again cleans up the mess in frustration. "

" Considering that Manchester United may not be able to follow up on the offer, it is understandable that Newcastle strives for it. If Manchester United does not take action, Cesco will join Newcastle, but when his preferred team comes to late, Newcastle knows that he has been eliminated. "
