Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Benjamin Sesco’s name continues to be debated internally at Manchester United.
In the words of a catch-offside columnist, the Red Devils want to sign “The Important Striker” in the current window.
RB Leipzig Hitman will most certainly certify such qualifications. Especially considering that it is likely to cost well over £60 million to praise the Slovenians from Bundesliga.
Manchester United is interested in Benjamin Sesco
Signing a striker is a serious priority for the power of BE, as it is on United’s long list along with things like Chelsea’s Nicholas Jackson.
“It’s true, strikers are a priority for them, so let’s see what United do.” The Italian spoke about his YouTube channel of the same name.
“I told you at the beginning of the week that Nicholas Jackson was an option. They know the situation. At this point, I don’t know about any consultations with Chelsea. But what I said has made United known.
“While I’m still grateful for Alejandro Garnacho, for example, while at Chelsea, that might be a scenario, but at this point it’s not a negotiation. There’s no talks about the club at this time.”
But it is essential that the first exit stage remains this summer before the Red Devils can roll the ball in front of the striker.
Marcus Rashford is already nearing a switch to Barcelona, but with further exits from Alejandro Garnacho and Antony, Manchester United is expected to be present in the market.
Romano continued to add: “One of the names I’ve mentioned internally in recent weeks is Benjamin Sesco, another famous player at Manchester United.
“But again, in this case, before we get into specific discussions and negotiations, we have to wait and see what happens internally at United from a dropout perspective.
“I told you how important it is at United to help some players financially.”
As Arsenal is doing his best to sport CP striker Viktor Gyoker, United should have a relatively clear pathway as they abandoned Sesko’s pursuit for the sake of price.
It’s only time to see if they’re trying to misuse this opportunity.
How much does it cost to bring Sesco to the Premier League?
Charles Watts reports that Sesco’s release clause has already risen to the £75 million mark after players activate performance-related clauses in their contracts.
This is a huge figure for the 22-year-old striker who has only two seasons in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
Of course, United’s decision makers will have all the rights to point out that Liverpool is ready to kick out £69 million with Hugo Echicicke this summer.
In contrast, the French were an important part of Aintrak Frankfurt’s setup for one season after a failed spell with PSG in League One.
Why did Arsenal skip the Sesco Transfer?
Money is the main factor in why Arsenal pivoted on Gyoker. That’s despite the Gunners boss personally agreeing to sign Benjamin Sesco, despite allegations from catch-offside sources close to Mikel Arteta’s camp.
There is room for doubt. In comparison, Swedish International appears even more in his development, and stands out from a creative and scoring perspective.

Viktor | 0.69 | 0.23 | 4.94 | 9.12 |

That is what is expected. After all, Viktor Gyoker has five years’ worth of experience as a counterpart at RB Leipzig. It goes without saying that he plays on a relatively weak top flight in Portugal.
United don’t expect Sesco to run to the ground, but they’re looking for an immediate improvement on creepy hitman Rasmus Hoilund.
Is Benjamin Sesco an improvement to Rasmus Hozilund?
The underlying numbers are similarly suggested.
Outstanding statistics show that if Manchester United completes the Slovak international move, Reuben Amorim will get a more effective move from his next No. 9.
