Benjamin Sesko Transfer Battle Heats Up: Manchester United, Newcastle Lead £70m Race for Bundesliga Star

Manchester United have made Benjamin Sesko their top striker target for the summer, putting him at the spotlight of transfer rumours. Several Premier League giants have pursued the 22-year-old RB Leipzig striker over the years, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and most recently, Newcastle United, who may make a move if Alexander Isak leaves.

Despite his £70 million price tag because of his physical strength, finishing ability, and lightning-fast speed (35.7 km/h), top clubs are confident thay the Slovenian can thrive in the Premier League . Sesko has scored more goals than any other U23 player across Europe’s top five leagues over the last two seasons, proving that his comparisons to Erling Haaland are well deserved.

Sesko has matured into a more complete No. 9, although he is deceptively quick and dominant in the air at 6′ 5″, he has also sharpened tactically, making a greater contribution in wide areas and build-up play. His record of 39 goals and 8 assists in 87 appearance for Leipzig, including six goals which were in the Champions League, speaks for itself.

Reports say that Manchester United have held discussion with Leipzig about a possible move, but Newcastle could also enter the race if they decide to sell Isak. Leipzig is willing to let Sesko leave if the suitable terms are met, but he may stay in Germany for another year unless a big Premier League team makes a decisive move in the next few weeks.

IMPACTOTRENDING’S VIEWS

Benjamin Sesko has everything he needs to be successful at the top level, the speed, strength, ability to jump, and a natural goal-scoring instinct. He’s not just a raw prospect anymore; his game has significantly matured and improved in all areas.

Interest from Premier League clubs continues to grow, despite Leipzig may want to keep him. If Manchester United across quickly, they may be able to secure a striker who is suited for the English football.

However, Newcastle could generate the funds needed to step into the race, if they decide to sell Isak. Regardless of where he ends up, Sesko seems destined to become one of Europe’s top forwards.
