According to the Telegraph, MU questioned RB Leipzig about the case of striker Benjamin Sesko.
His top newspaper emphasized that MU now sees Sesko as the No. 1 target instead of Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, whom the Reds think is too expensive compared to the age of 29. Newcastle also sees Sesko as the first choice, in the context of Alexander Isak expressing his desire to leave St James' Park. If Sesko chose MU, it would be a strong blow to Newcastle's transfer ambition, the team had put Bryan Mbeumo into the Red Devils itself.
Leipzig will require at least 80 million euros (about 69 million pounds) for the 22 -year -old striker Slovenia. Arsenal was very interested in Sesko in early summer but then turned to Viktor Gyokeres.
Coach Ruben Amorim wants to consolidate the attack for MU, especially when the team only scored 44 goals in the Premier League last season. After spending 133.5 million pounds for Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cuha, he was looking for a true striker. Sesko is considered an ideal long -term plan.
MU has followed Sesko in 2019 but failed. Although there is a contract with Leipzig until 2029, Sesko is said to have a provision, allowing him to leave early if he receives a reasonable proposal.
If the deal is successful, the future of Rasmus Hojlund at Old Trafford may be questioned after a difficult season. At the same time, MU will also be more pressure to sell names like Alejandro Garnacho, Antony or Jadon Sancho to balance financial.
Chelsea is one of the clubs interested in Garnacho. MU is willing to listen to the offer for the Argentine, but denied the possibility of making a exchange with Nicolas Jackson. Although Jackson considers, the Red Devils think that the price of Chelsea offers is unreasonable.
