🚨 BREAKING NEWS ‼️

 

Manchester United have reached an agreement with RB Leipzig for the transfer of Benjamin Šeško after submitting their first official offer, valued at €80 million.

The deal marks a major breakthrough in what has been one of the summer’s most intense transfer chases.

 

Sources close to the negotiations confirm that Manchester United’s proposal — consisting of a fixed €80m fee with performance-related bonuses — has met Leipzig’s valuation, paving the way for final talks with the player. While previous bids from Newcastle United fell short of Leipzig’s expectations, United’s offer appears to have sealed the agreement.

 

Šeško, who scored 18 goals in all competitions last season, has been a long-term target for Erik ten Hag and the club’s recruitment team. With uncertainty lingering around the futures of forwards such as Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho, the signing of a powerful, mobile No. 9 like Šeško fits the club’s vision for a new attacking era under Rúben Amorim.

 

The 21-year-old Slovenian striker has already spoken with United representatives and is said to be “enthusiastic” about the move. Personal terms are not expected to be a major hurdle, with initial agreements already in place. The final step now lies in Šeško giving his official green light to the transfer, which could be completed in the coming days.

 

This would represent Manchester United’s most expensive signing of the summer so far and a major statement of intent as they prepare for the 2025–26 season. With Amorim pushing for early reinforcements, Šeško’s arrival could prove crucial in reigniting United’s ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
