Premier League
Manchester United is determined to close one of the most ambitious signings this summer: Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian forward from RB Leipzig has become the main target of the English club to complete their offensive trident, where Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha already stand out. The goal is clear: a young attacker with the potential to be a world star for the project led by Rubén Amorim at Old Trafford.
Sesko is not a new face for United. The club has been monitoring him for years and now, with a forward line still taking shape, they believe it is the ideal time to go for his signing. Leipzig has him tied until 2029, but with a condition: if a top-level club puts around 90 million euros on the table, the exit door opens. Amorim, confident in the player's profile, wants him to be the final touch to their offense.

Although Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa was also considered, the financial demands and Villa's refusal to sell the Englishman have definitively tilted the balance towards Sesko. Meanwhile, Newcastle has also shown interest in the Slovenian amid the potential departure of Alexander Isak, setting the stage for a bidding war among Premier League giants.
Behind this operation is the influence of Christopher Vivell, current United's head of recruitment and former Red Bull executive. He has firsthand knowledge of Sesko's growth and is pushing to bring him to Manchester. Negotiations won't be easy, but United is willing to go all-in for a forward who, if he shines, could make history at the club.
