“I will join Man United on one condition” – Man Utd rekindle interest in £42m brilliant Bundesliga attacker after player confirmes interest to join Manchester United but face strong competition from Chelsea
Benjamin Sesko, a forward for RB Leipzig, has drawn interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, according to people familiar with the matter.
Before the summer transfer window opens, all three of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are looking to add strikers, and Sesko has become a well-known figure on their radar.
Many elite teams continue to place a high premium on finding a prolific goal scorer as the transfer market prepares for a frenzy of activity.
While players like Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney are drawing a lot of interest, Sesko has also attracted the curiosity of a number of top teams, establishing himself as a strong candidate to enhance their offensive lines.
Scouts from a number of elite clubs have been showing interest in the 20-year-old striker, and there are rumours that a move to England may happen in the summer transfer window.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Manchester United has shown interest in Sesko as they look to add more attacking alternatives to their lineup in addition to Rasmus Hojlund.
Sesko’s acquisition is now less of a top priority for the Red Devils because they have other aspects of the team that need to be addressed right away.
Sesko decided to join RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last summer despite United’s interest because he thought it would be the best place for him to grow.
Still, other teams are keeping a close eye on him; Arsenal, in particular, is said to be quite interested in the teenage striker.
The Gunners are keen to bolster their striking squad in order to take the team to new heights in the upcoming season, even though talks are still in the early stages.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is also looking for a forward, and Sesko fits the bill as a young, gifted player who fits in with their hiring philosophy.
Although Victor Osimhen is still the club’s top priority, Sesko has shown himself to be a strong backup plan in case talks with Osimhen fall through.
The Slovenian international, who signed a five-year contract with a £42 million release clause that will become active in the summer, has excelled since moving for £21 million from RB Salzburg to RB Leipzig.
The race to recruit Sesko is anticipated to heat up as the summer transfer window draws near, with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea bidding for his services against fierce competition from other European clubs.
Sesko is a promising addition for any team hoping to bolster their offensive line in time for the upcoming campaign, given his obvious goal-scoring ability and potential.
