Manchester United optimistic about signing Benjamin Sesko

teamtalk.com

Manchester United is showing strong interest in signing striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig this summer. A trusted source has indicated that it is "very realistic" that Sesko will leave Leipzig, with several clubs including Arsenal and Newcastle also interested. Sesko, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall and known as "The Beast," has scored 86 goals in his career. This season, Manchester United has struggled offensively, scoring only 37 goals in 29 Premier League games, which is far behind league leaders Liverpool. To improve their attack, the club is prioritizing the addition of a new centre-forward. A shortlist of targets has been created that includes Sesko, along with strikers Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, and Hugo Ekitike. Leipzig is reportedly expecting to receive an offer of €70 million (£58.9 million) for Sesko. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt is asking for €80 million (£67.4 million) for Ekitike, who has performed well this season, scoring 23 goals in 54 matches. United’s management is evaluating all four potential targets in terms of their fit for the team, age, and salary demands. Discussions are ongoing as to which player will be the best fit for the club's needs. In addition to a striker, United is looking for a new winger and has approached the agent of Antoine Semenyo for a six-year deal. The club is also in the hunt for a new defensive player with a budget of over £50 million. Changes to the squad are expected this summer, with several current players facing uncertain futures at Old Trafford.
