🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United have struck a full agreement to finalize their last signing of the summer, with the star forward landing in London today to undergo his medical. The Red Devils have completed the acquisition of a high-flying French striker who bagged 40 goals across all competitions last season. The deal has been sealed with a contract running through to 2030, and medical assessments are now in progress. Big win for United fans — the wait is over!

Manchester United have reportedly completed their final signing of the summer transfer window by securing the services of a Netherlands international striker for a staggering £80 million. The forward has signed a five-year deal, and this move is being touted as a significant win for the Red Devils, especially with the new season fast approaching.

 

Reports from the media indicate that Manchester United and Newcastle United were both pursuing Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. While Newcastle initially had a hefty bid turned down, United have now stepped up with an offer that matches the Magpies’ terms. This has ignited a fierce bidding war between the two Premier League clubs.

 

According to German outlet Bild, Newcastle’s proposal was worth £70 million, which breaks down to £65 million upfront with £5 million in performance-related add-ons. Despite the massive sum, RB Leipzig rejected the offer, signaling they’re holding out for an even higher package.

 

Leipzig are reportedly demanding £74 million in total—£65 million fixed and £9 million in bonuses. Additionally, they want any potential deal to include a sell-on clause, allowing them a slice of future profits should Sesko be sold again down the line.

 

Both Manchester United and Newcastle are scrambling to secure a reliable goal-scorer ahead of the new season. United, who only managed to net 44 Premier League goals last season, saw a disappointing return from their striking unit, which only contributed a combined total of seven goals.

 

On the flip side, Newcastle’s current star striker Alexander Isak bagged 23 league goals last term. However, speculation suggests that he may be eyeing a move to Liverpool, and he’s reportedly not training with the rest of the squad—further increasing the urgency for a new signing.

 

Benjamin Sesko, just 22 years old, has made a name for himself in the Bundesliga with 34 goal involvements in 64 appearances. He’s seen as a young talent still developing, and his potential has made him a hot commodity in the market. United and Newcastle view him as a key long-term investment.

 

However, despite all the buzz, it’s still unclear whether Sesko will end up at Old Trafford or opt for Newcastle, who can offer Champions League football. Either way, both clubs are in desperate need of firepower, and the race to sign the Slovenian striker remains wide open.
