🚨 CONFIRMED: Benjamin Šeško Chooses Newcastle Over Manchester United.
In a stunning twist to the summer transfer saga, reports from reliable Slovenian outlets have confirmed that Benjamin Šeško has chosen to join Newcastle United, rejecting strong interest from Manchester United in the process. The 21-year-old striker, long viewed as one of Europe’s most promising young talents, had been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks.
Šeško’s decision comes after intense discussions with both clubs, but it is believed Newcastle’s ambitious sporting project and guaranteed first-team role played a decisive role in the striker’s final choice. The Magpies have reportedly agreed on personal terms with the player, and an official announcement could follow soon, pending final agreement with RB Leipzig.
Manchester United had made Šeško a priority target amid their ongoing rebuild under Erik ten Hag. Despite presenting a competitive financial package and a long-term vision, the Red Devils were unable to convince the Slovenian forward, who was reportedly hesitant about United’s current instability and lack of Champions League football.
Sources close to the player say he was impressed by Newcastle’s clear strategy, Eddie Howe’s man-management, and the guarantee of playing in Europe. The Tyneside club is expected to pay close to €60 million for the striker, beating out several top European sides for his signature.
This development is a huge blow for Manchester United, who now turn their attention back to alternatives such as Joshua Zirkzee and Ivan Toney. For Newcastle, this is a massive statement of intent ahead of the new season as they look to consolidate their position among England’s elite.
Šeško is expected to travel to England for medicals early next week. Fans at St. James’ Park will be thrilled with what looks to be one of the most exciting signings of
the summer.
