Several British media sites and the well-known transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano have reported that Manchester United has formally presented a bid of roughly £74 million to RB Leipzig, a Bundesliga club, to acquire the services of Benjamin Sesko, a striker who represents Slovenia in international football.
In the past, both Newcastle United and Manchester United expressed a great interest in signing the highly regarded forward, who is frequently referred to as the “next Haaland.” According to the reports, Newcastle had presented a more substantial offer of 78 million pounds.
Man United Play the “Personal Connection” Card to Stay Ahead
United has a significant advantage over Newcastle, which is a personal connection, although they offer significantly less.
John Murtough, who is currently the head of recruitment for Manchester United, had previously worked at Red Bull Salzburg, where he established a close friendship with Sesko. Because Murtough is well aware of the striker’s talent, he has been exerting a great deal of effort within the club to secure the transaction.
Those with knowledge of the situation have disclosed that Sesko would rather move to Manchester United than to Newcastle. According to reports, the talented forward, who is 22 years old, places a higher value on United’s extensive history, global status, and commercial power than what Newcastle can provide.
It is even reported that he is unconcerned that the club will not be participating in any European competitions for the upcoming season.
Signs of Departure as Leipzig Forward Trains Separately
Sesko has demonstrated exceptional offensive talent by scoring 39 goals in 87 appearances over the past two seasons while playing for Leipzig Football Club. Recently, he has been assigned to individual training sessions, which is a strong signal that his departure is on the horizon.
Betfair, a bookmaker based in the United Kingdom, has paused all betting markets relating to Sesko’s transfer as a result of these developments, which has encouraged speculation that a transfer to Old Trafford is approaching completion.
Sesko Seen as the Ideal Central Striker United Desperately Need
Due to the fact that Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who were both acquired by Manchester United during the summer, are not traditional strikers, there is a noticeable void in the roster.
Sesko, who is a natural center striker, is considered the ideal solution for United to lead their front line and considerably increase their offensive threat.
Fan Hype Grows as Transfer Momentum Builds
The possibility of Sesko joining United has generated a great deal of excitement among the club’s supporters. After Cunha liked a post featuring Sesko in a United shirt, there was significant fan engagement on social media.
Not only does this enthusiasm express the welcome for a new star, but it also shows the hope for a safer and more prosperous future. Beyond the playing field, Sesko’s arrival has the potential to enhance the club’s brand value and open up new commercial opportunities.
Manchester United’s intention to return to the top of European football is signaled by this probable signing, which offers more than just an enhancement to the team’s roster. Both the fans and the club are eagerly anticipating what the young striker can achieve at Old Trafford.
