The Italian transfer journalist says that Sesko has agreed on a contract until 2030.
Sesko has made it clear that he wants to join Man Utd, and this is a feeling that he never indicated to Newcastle.
Romano adds that talks are now ongoing between Man Utd and Leipzig to try and complete the transfer.
Man Utd closing in on Sesko
The last 24-48 hours have been extremely eventful in the battle between Man Utd and Newcastle for Leipzig striker Sesko.
First of all, Newcastle made an improved offer for Sesko - with reports clocking it from between €80-90 million - having had an initial bid rejected last week.
It was initially reported following this second bid that Sesko was now likely to join Newcastle.
Then, on Tuesday afternoon, Man Utd responded with an €85m bid of their own as confirmed by David Ornstein and Romano.
And on Wednesday moning, Nicolo Schira then said first that Man Utd and Sesko had agreed terms - although Schira says the contract will run until 2031.
Romano has now followed Schira by confirming that terms have been agreed, albeit on a contract that ends a year earlier.
Man Utd want Sesko to be their new number nine for the new season.
Sesko, who was a target for Arsenal before they signed Viktor Gyokeres, scored an impressive 21 goals in 45 games in all competitions this past season.
Sesko scored 18 goals in 42 games for his club in 2024-25 and went to Euro 2024 with Slovenia.
He has 16 goals in 41 games for Slovenia.
He will leave Leipzig this summer if the club receives a suitable offer.
