In a seismic development for the summer transfer window, Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško has formally agreed to join Manchester United on a long-term contract, according to renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The deal, exclusively revealed by Romano yesterday, would tie the 22-year-old phenom to the Red Devils until June 2030.
Romano’s latest update confirms Šeško’s unwavering desire to make Old Trafford his next destination. Sources close to the negotiations emphasize that Šeško provided “clear indications on club preference” only to Manchester United, never extending the same level of commitment to other interested parties during the protracted transfer saga.
Key Developments:
- Personal Terms Sealed: Šeško and Manchester United have finalized all aspects of a five-year contract, effective immediately upon a successful transfer.
- Player’s Clear Choice: The RB Leipzig forward has explicitly prioritized a move to Erik ten Hag’s project, viewing United as the ideal platform for his development.
- Fee Negotiations Ongoing: While the player’s future is settled, significant work remains between the clubs. RB Leipzig is driving a hard bargain, demanding a “higher fee” than United’s initial offer to sanction the departure of their prized asset. Talks between the two clubs continue intensively.
Why it Matters:
Šeško represents one of Europe’s most coveted young strikers. His combination of physical power, technical ability, and proven Bundesliga goal-scoring record (16 goals last season) makes him a priority target for United seeking to bolster their attacking options long-term. Securing his agreement on personal terms is a major coup for the club’s hierarchy.
What’s Next:
All eyes now turn to the negotiating table. Manchester United must reach an agreement with the notoriously tough Leipzig negotiators to turn Šeško’s commitment into an official signing. The pressure is on to finalize the deal swiftly as the new Premier League season approaches.
