Benjamin Sesko: What Remains to Bring the RB Leipzig Striker to Old Trafford

Benjamin Sesko has reportedly accepted Manchester United’s offer, with only a final key peice standing in the way of his move to Old Trafford.

RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko appears to be closing in on a high-profile move to Manchester United, with reports from Sky Sports Germany suggesting the Slovenian international has accepted the club's offer.

The 22-year-old has been on the Red Devils’ radar, and his latest response brings the Premier League side a step closer to securing his signature.

However, one key hurdle remains, agreeing a transfer fee with Leipzig, who are reportedly holding out for around £64 million (€74 million).

The Red Devils' pursuit of Sesko marks a significant push to bolster their attacking options, with manager Ruben Amorim keen to secure a proven goal-scorer ahead of the new season, having already added Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to their ranks.

The Slovenian’s personal desire to make the move, combined with his prolific form in the Bundesliga, is fueling optimism within the United camp.

Amorim’s Vision and SeSko’s Numbers Make a Perfect Match

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has not shied away from expressing his enthusiasm for Sesko, who netted 39 goals in all competitions over the last two seasons for Leipzig.

Speaking about United’s recruitment ambitions via Manchester United.com, Amorim recently said, “They need to want to come here. I think the message we can give the fans is that we want players who have already proven themselves.”

Sesko fits that mold with his combination of height, strength, pace, and a clinical edge in front of goal making him one of Europe's most promising forwards

A towering forward, the Slovenian is known not only for his physical presence but also his ability to stretch defenses and operate effectively in transition, traits Amorim believes are essential for his new-look United side.

Final Hurdle: Agreeing a Fee With Leipzig

While personal terms appear to be sorted, the final piece of the puzzle lies in Manchester United reaching a financial agreement with RB Leipzig.

The German club is reluctant to part ways with one of their top assets without securing maximum value, and negotiations are expected to intensify over the coming days.

United are keen to avoid drawn-out sagas. With the player already open to the switch, there's growing belief that an agreement could be struck before the window closes, potentially giving United the attacking firepower they’ve lacked since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
