Transfer Battle Heats Up: Man United & Newcastle in Final Race for Benjamin Sesko
The race for Benjamin Sesko’s signature is reaching fever pitch, with Manchester United and Newcastle United now locked in a two-way battle for the prolific RB Leipzig striker.
While Arsenal were earlier tipped to land the 21-year-old Slovenian star, their recent acquisition of Viktor Gyökeres has shifted the dynamics of the summer striker market. The Gunners seem content up front, leaving the path open for rivals to move for Sesko.
🔴 Manchester United’s Angle
With manager Ruben Amorim looking to reshape United’s attack, Sesko could become the final piece of a revamped frontline. Having already secured Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to operate as dual No. 10s, Amorim is reportedly eager to install a dynamic striker who can stretch defenses — and Sesko fits that profile.
⚽ Opinion:
If United are to challenge seriously again, they need a clinical No. 9. Sesko offers youth, movement, and strong finishing — and could be molded into the next long-term star at Old Trafford.
⚫⚪ Newcastle’s Urgent Need
For Newcastle United, the pressure is even higher. With Alexander Isak pushing for a move — and Liverpool now leading that race — the Magpies are desperate to replace him. After missing out on Hugo Ekitike to the Reds, Sesko has become their top priority.
🗣️ Opinion:
Newcastle need to move fast or risk entering the season with a major gap up front. Sesko not only brings physical presence and flair but also aligns with the club’s youth-driven model. Losing him to a direct rival like Manchester United would sting.
⏳ What Next?
Benjamin Sesko is expected to decide on his future within days, and his next move could significantly impact the Premier League title and top-four races.
Whoever lands him won’t just be buying a striker — they’ll be securing one of Europe’s most sought-after young forwards.
