Manchester United are reportedly set to officially unveil Benjamin Sesko at Old Trafford this weekend ahead of their pre-season friendly against Fiorentina. The Slovenian striker is undergoing the second part of his medical and joins from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to £74 million. He becomes The Red Devils’ fourth summer signing as Ruben Amorim rebuilds the squad.
Benjamin Sesko has reportedly sacrificed part of his salary and his agency’s commission to finalise a move to Manchester United, despite Newcastle offering higher wages. The Red Devils have reached a full agreement with RB Leipzig for the Slovenian striker in a deal worth €85 million (£73.7m/$100m). Medical and contract signing are set to follow shortly.
Manchester United have won the race to sign highly-rated RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, reportedly reaching an 'agreement in principle' for a deal worth €85 million (£73.7m/$100m). The Slovenia international had been pursued by Newcastle United, but ultimately chose Old Trafford as his preferred destination, with medical tests now expected to follow soon.
Former Manchester United and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre has told Rasmus Hojlund to fight for his place in the United starting lineup, despite the Red Devils being strongly linked with a move for Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. United are determined to sign a new No.9 this summer and have now formally submitted their first bid for the Slovenian.
Manchester United are reportedly plotting a "last-minute gamble" on an alternative option in case their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko fails. While the Slovenian remains the preferred choice, United are said to be exploring contingency options as the clock ticks down on their summer business. The Red Devils are determined to bring in a new No.9 to complete Ruben Amorim's attack for the new season.
