Benjamin Sesko’s decision to turn down Manchester United as Arsenal approach summer transfer window
Though a summer transfer is in the cards for Benjamin Sesko, the 21-year-old has admitted he was a Manchester United target last season.
On May 11, 2024, in Leipzig, Germany, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko watches as his team plays SV Werder Bremen in a Bundesliga match at Red Bull Arena.
In his pursuit of a breakout season in Europe, Benjamin Sesko announced that he opted to join RB Leipzig rather than Manchester United.
After deciding to leave Red Bull Salzburg last summer, the 21-year-old got offers from some of Europe’s most prestigious teams. He signed with RB Leipzig in the end.
After finding success in Germany’s Bundesliga, Sesko is reportedly being linked to a lucrative transfer to England’s Premier League.
Going somewhere that plays a comparable style of football was crucial for me. I didn’t need to re-learn anything since I was already familiar with the material.
Sesko, who will be 21 on Friday, might provide Arsenal with further depth in resolving their present troubles with their forward players. Rumour has it that his agent, Elvis Basanovic, has been seen at Arsenal’s matches, indicating that the romance is genuine. Arsenal are expected to sign a prolific striker during the next summer transfer window, despite the fact that Kai Havertz played as a false nine.
Even though the player has only been with Leipzig for a year, reports indicate that they are willing to sell this summer. Sesko may be the next big talent to leave the German club’s roster as part of their lucrative economic strategy.
United completed a massive summer transfer acquiring Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in search of a new striker. Despite interest from Harry Kane, the club opted to prioritise the young Dane rather than compete financially with Bayern Munich.
