The chase of Manchester United to Benjamin Sesko has flown this week after the latest update of Fabrizio Romano about the red-hot race for the RB Leipzig striker.
Two goals in front
A new number nine is considered an urgent priority at Old Trafford after the worst campaign of the club in the Premier League era last season.
Two number dozens have already been secured – Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo – but United stay on the hunt for a frontman to play for the dynamic duo.
The first goal of the club, Ipswich Town Striker Liam Delap, refused to complete United’s interest in completing a switch to Chelsea, even though Ineos was sure that he had concluded a deal for the England U-9 International.
Subsequently, progress was made to Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP) and Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt). But both attackers reflected the decision of Delap by becoming a member of United’s Rivals with Arsenal who signed Gyokeres and Ekitike at Liverpool.
This has led the Red Devils to limit their focus to two strikers: Sesko and Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).
The urge to Sesko
Watkins is an English international with a proven track record in the field of goals and a wealth of Premier League experience – An important characteristic Ruben Amorim has united united for priorities in new recruits.
But the villa will be 30 in December and probably costs more than £ 50 million, and also demands that this requires a considerable salary, since this will be the last ‘big contract’ of his career.
The drive of Ineos, since it took over in Old Trafford last year, was to give priority to younger recruits on more affordable wages, even if it entails large transfer costs, as the signing of Leny Yoro has shown.
An expensive striving for Watkins does not fit in the approach in the last 18 months; But conquering a highly valued 22-year-old striker such as Sesko, even if no less than £ 70 million costs, is immediately in accordance with the recruitment model that the Ineos have tried to implement.
The director of the United of the Recruitment, Christopher Vivell, would lead the club to Sesko’s club, since the German director previously worked in the Red Bull Group and knows the Slovenia International on a personal level.
United has had discussions with Sesko and its representatives to present the project offered to Old Trafford and to assess the financial data involved in a deal. But Newcastle United also urges to sign Sesko in the midst of fearing that their Talismian attacker Alexander Isak will leave St James’ park this summer.
Write for Givemessport” Romano now reveals that sources close to the deal indicate that the Red Devils have launched negotiations with Leipzig “face-to-face” while formalizing their interest in the 22-year-old.
“Sources reveal to Givemesport that Manchester United had direct contact with RB Leipzig in the last 48 hours to start concrete conversations about the Sesko-DealTodails, with suggestions about a meeting that has been playing face-to-face in recent days.
“Due to a men’s agreement between Sesko, his agent and RB Leipzig, the player was able to leave for a reimbursement of approximately € 70/80 million permanent plus € 5/10m add-on if it is the player to inform the German club about his wish. Manchester United wanted the status of this” private agreement “after speaking Sesko’s Camp in the recent days” “
The fact that United has conversations directly with Leipzig after Discussions were held with Sesko indicates that the Slovenian has communicated his willingness to move to Old Trafford this summer, which confirms a report passed on by The people person Last week.
United will probably have to generate income through sale to meet Leipzig’s requirements for their attacking Sterret, which means that the future of players such as Alejandaro Garnacho, Antony and Jadon Sancho are just as important to resolve as any agreement in Germany.
