“He is better than Haaland” Man Utd join the race for £55m-rated Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko.
Ben Sesko of Red Bull Salzburg is being watched by a number of teams, including Manchester United, but the Austrian club is unwilling to sell this summer for less than £55 million.
The brilliant 19-year-old’s admirers include Newcastle United, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.
Unless they receive an offer that is near to their asking price, Salzburg wants to hold onto Sesko for the remainder of the season. He has already scored twice in his first two games.
Last week, Sesko’s agent teased fans by posting an Instagram photo of himself dining nearby the Tyne Bridge, sparking a flurry of activity on social media.
However, Newcastle put a damper on the excitement by stating that while they admired Sesko as a player, no progress had been made regarding a transfer.
Newcastle still wants to add a young striker during this transfer window, and they also desire a right winger.
Manchester United is considering their alternatives as they must this week explain Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation.
Sesko, a 6 foot 4 inch Slovenian international, hasn’t been the subject of any talks, but they are aware of him as they get ready to create a list of targets.
The Ajax winger Antony and the Stuttgart-born Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdzic have both been brought up. Other people are also being thought about.
If a trade can be made financially feasible, Atletico Madrid may be interested in Ronaldo’s desire to depart.
Manchester City new signing Erling Haaland also started making waves in football when he joined RB Salzburg and it was said that Ben Sesko is better than him.
Manchester United will battle it out with top clubs in Europe and Salzburg are ready to lose him this summer, if any club meets’ their asking price.
