Manchester United have made a big move to sign striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
Reports from Sky Sports say United have sent in a bid of just under £74 million for the 22-year-old forward.
This offer is lower than the one made by Newcastle United, but Man United still believe they can win the race to sign him.
The Slovenia striker is one of the top young names in Europe right now.
He’s tall, strong, and fast, just what Premier League teams want in a number 9.
Even though he hasn’t scored loads of goals yet, many clubs still want him.
His current value is said to be around £108 million, according to experts at the CIES Football Observatory.
Why United Want Him
Manchester United are looking to add more firepower up front. Last season, their main striker Rasmus Hojlund struggled to score regularly.
The club now hopes that Sesko can be the missing piece in their attack.
Some fans are worried Sesko might turn out like Hojlund, a young player with talent but not enough experience to shine at Old Trafford.
But Sesko already has more top-level games under his belt and is wanted by other big clubs like Arsenal and Newcastle.
This shows he’s highly rated across Europe.
If he picks United over Newcastle, it could be a big boost for new manager Ruben Amorim.
It could also form a dream attack at Old Trafford, possibly worth over £200 million if you include other stars like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
Big Decision Ahead For Sesko
It’s now up to Sesko to decide where he wants to play next. Newcastle have offered more money, but United are a bigger name in world football.
That could help them convince the young striker to join their project.
Leipzig may prefer to take the higher offer, but if Sesko wants United, it could be hard for them to say no.
This decision could affect both United and Newcastle’s season in a big way.
We should know more in the coming weeks, but one thing is clear, whoever signs Benjamin Sesko could be getting a future star.
