Manchester United comes closer to securing the signature of RB Leipzig sensation Benjamin Sesko.
Man United has submitted € 75 million plus € 10 million in add-ons to bring the 22-year-old to Old Trafford.
They have already concluded an agreement on personal conditions with Sesko and offer a long -term contract that will keep him at the club until June 2030.
If the Red Devils reach an agreement with Leipzig, Sesko becomes their third framework of this summer after Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
His arrival could make serious doubts about the future of colleague attackers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
Hojlund is connected to a summer movement to Italy, but the Denmark International is adamant to stay in United and to fight for its place.
If he stays on, emerging star Chido Obi can find it increasingly difficult to earn consistent minutes with the senior team.
The 17-year-old made his senior debut against Tottenham Hotspur in February under head coach Ruben Amorim.
He played seven times before the Red Devils, including a completely 90 -minute display against Brentford in the Premier League.
OBI moved to Carrington in October 2024 after he refused to sign a professional contract with Arsenal.
His performances at the academy level showed that he is a remarkable talent and has a maturity that lies of his age.
He yielded 14 goals in 14 games for United Youth Teams in the past term.
OBI is still five years younger than Sesko, but he will watch the opportunities in domestic cup competitions to speed up his development.
Without European football on the calendar this season, the list of the lighter fixture will be lighter, limiting minutes before emerging prospects.
We believe that OBI will be used as a floater, switch between the under-21 years and the first team, depending on the needs and availability.
The Red Devils have long been proud of promoting young talent, and OBI remains firm in their long -term plans.
For now, the young person must continue to refine his game and remain patient to get continuous opportunities under Amorim.
