π¨ ππππ ππ ππ! Manchester United AGREE deal to sign Benjamin Ε eΕ‘ko from RB Leipzig.
After weeks of speculation, negotiations, and drama β the saga is officially over. Manchester United have reached a full agreement with RB Leipzig to sign highly-rated Slovenian striker Benjamin Ε eΕ‘ko in a blockbuster deal worth β¬85 million in total.
The final package includes β¬76.5 million upfront plus β¬8.5 million in achievable add-ons, confirming Unitedβs commitment to investing in long-term firepower. The 21-year-old striker has signed a contract until June 2030, having made it clear earlier this week that his heart was set on Old Trafford β despite interest from several European giants.
Ε eΕ‘koβs stance was key in pushing the deal over the line. On Tuesday, he informed both Leipzig and his representatives that Manchester United was his only choice, effectively ending the race for his signature. The player’s insistence proved decisive, and now United fans can celebrate the arrival of one of Europeβs brightest young attacking talents.
The towering striker, often compared to Erling Haaland for his physical presence, pace, and finishing ability, is seen as a vital part of INEOS’s long-term vision to rebuild United with youth, energy, and elite-level ambition.
United had been monitoring Ε eΕ‘ko for over a year, and with the departures of Anthony Martial and uncertainty around other attacking options, the club made their move β and now theyβve landed their man.
Ε eΕ‘ko will wear the famous red shirt next season, joining a growing core of talented young players aimed at restoring United to the top.
π΄ THE SAGA IS OVER. Ε EΕ KO IS RED.
Let the new era begin. π₯π
