The transfer package for ex-RB Leipzig star Benjamin Šeško is expected to rise to around €80.5million by the end of the season.

According to Sky, in addition to the base fee of €76.5million paid by Manchester United, there will be €4million paid in bonuses after the first season.

This extra sum of cash is largely due to a combination of appearances, goals and likely Champions League qualification for United.

However, it's not considered unlikely that the total package over several years could reach around €85million for the Red Devils.

Additionally, as part of the deal, a friendly between United and Leipzig has been agreed, which must be played within the next few years.

Leipzig will receive all the revenue from that match, further filling their coffers from the sale of the now 22-year-old Slovenian marksman.
