Manchester United Secures Benjamin Sesko Transfer from RB Leipzig
According to recent insights from The Athletic, an initial accord has been struck between Manchester United and RB Leipzig, featuring a base payment of €76.5 million supplemented by €8.5 million in performance-based incentives for the talented Slovenian forward. Although 紐卡斯爾聯隊 had previously locked in a similar arrangement with the German club, they failed to persuade Sesko to commit to a switch to their Tyneside outpost this offseason. The young 21-year-old talent is now preparing for his health check-up en route to inking a deal with the English giants.
Boosting the Attack: Sesko Joins Manchester United’s Overhaul
As part of their ambitious offseason transformation, Manchester United is enhancing its offensive capabilities with Sesko’s addition, complementing recent acquisitions like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Under manager Ruben Amorim’s guidance, the team is focused on turning around fortunes after a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, where they struggled with consistency and goal-scoring efficiency.
Newcastle’s Bid Falls Short Despite Early Agreement
Even though Newcastle United had reached a consensus with RB Leipzig on terms for Sesko ahead of their rivals, the Tyneside club couldn’t sway the forward to align with Eddie Howe’s vision. Interestingly, Manchester United managed to negotiate a more favorable fee compared to what Newcastle proposed, highlighting savvy dealings in the market.
Next Steps: Medical and Official Confirmation for Sesko
The emerging Slovenian star is poised to complete his medical evaluations soon, paving the way for Manchester United to unveil the signing imminently. To maintain financial equilibrium, the club is also planning to part ways with underperforming assets like Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, and 安東尼. Recent stats show Sesko boasting an impressive 18 goals in 42 appearances for RB Leipzig last season, a figure that could surge in the 英超聯賽‘s dynamic environment, potentially rivaling top scorers like 埃爾林·哈蘭德 who netted 27 in the 2023/24 term.
