Premier League
Manchester United continues with its ambitious reconstruction plan for the upcoming season. After investing €75 million in signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, the Old Trafford club has turned its attention to Benjamin Sesko, one of RB Leipzig's gems. The interest in the Slovenian forward is not new, as United has been closely following him for over a year now, but they are now ready to take the definitive step.
Another multimillion-dollar signing to try to return to Europe
At 22 years old, Sesko has shown significant growth at the Red Bull Arena, attracting the interest of several European giants. However, the English club would need to make a new financial effort to secure his services. According to Bild from Germany, Leipzig will demand at least €70 million to let him go, a figure that, combined with the recent expenditure on Mbeumo, would represent a substantial outlay for Erik ten Hag's team.
Leipzig, on the other hand, knows it needs to balance the books this summer after spending around €92 million on reinforcements. Therefore, the potential sales of Sesko and Xavi Simons are shaping up to be key in cleaning up the German team's finances. While the interest is strong, Leipzig's high demands and Sesko's salary request could complicate an operation that, for now, seems more desired than realistic.
