Manchester United are interested in signing the RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.
According to a report from Team Talk, Manchester United are looking to enhance their attacking options and have identified the 20-year-old Slovenian forward as a potential target. Sesko has a release clause of £42 million in his contract, and it remains to be seen if Manchester United are willing to meet that price.
At the beginning of the season, Manchester United signed Hojlund, who had a relatively average start to his Premier League career after joining from Atalanta. However, the Danish international has been in excellent form in recent matches. It is expected that he will continue to improve in the upcoming months and establish himself as a key player for the Red Devils.
Nevertheless, Manchester United require additional depth in that position, and Sesko could be a high-quality alternative to Hojlund. The young Bundesliga forward might be enticed by the opportunity to play in the Premier League, and Manchester United’s status as one of the world’s biggest clubs could be appealing to him.
With their financial resources, Manchester United certainly have the capability to meet the reported asking price of £42 million for the striker. They must strive to finish the season strongly and secure qualification for the Champions League next season. Attracting talented young players without the allure of Champions League football could prove to be quite challenging.
Sesko has scored 10 goals in all competitions this season and could potentially be a valuable long-term addition to the Red Devils.
