Been thinking about this a bit and I wonder if it was just a case that the club thought they had better bargaining power with a Gyökeres deal since the player is also pushing through the move.
Whereas Sesko may end up demanding a much higher fee, meaning less funds to contribute to other transfers.
I obviously have no idea, but it's what made sense to me. Also considering the fact that the stumbling block for the Gyökores deal seems to be over an extra 4m up front, at least according to reports.
