Sesko has established himself as one of Europe's top young strikers, scoring 39 goals in 87 matches during his two seasons at RB Leipzig.
BBC Sport reports that his record places him ahead of Jude Bellingham and five goals clear of Florian Wirtz among under-23 goalscorers in Europe's top five leagues, with a 23.5% conversion rate in league play.
The striker reportedly prefers a move to the English Premier League.
Manchester United has identified Sesko as its primary attacking target and has held preliminary talks with Leipzig, as reported by BBC Sport.

United has already invested £130 million in forward additions Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo under manager Ruben Amorim's squad reorganization.
Meanwhile, rival suitor Arsenal has shifted focus to signing Viktor Gyokeres for up to £64 million, leaving Manchester United in a prime position to pursue the Slovenian international if they choose to meet Leipzig's asking price.
