Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko is poised to join Manchester United following significant developments in his summer transfer saga. Both Manchester United and Newcastle United have made offers to Leipzig, \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s current club, with Newcastle\u2019s initial bid of \u20ac82.5 million plus \u20ac2.5 million in add-ons accepted. Despite this, the Slovenia international appears to favour a move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Last season’s top scorer at Leipzig trained separately from his teammates amid the transfer uncertainty. Manchester United’s offer matches Newcastle’s financially, totaling \u20ac85 million, but with a different payment structure: \u20ac75 million upfront and \u20ac10 million in add-ons. Leipzig is actively negotiating with Manchester United, aware of the player’s preference.<\/p>\n
Reports from Fabrizio Romano indicate United and \u0160e\u0161ko have reached “total agreement” on personal terms, with the striker committing to a contract until June 2030. This deal highlights Manchester United\u2019s sustained appeal, even after enduring their worst Premier League performance, finishing 15th last season.<\/p>\n
Notably, new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have cited the club’s historic stature as a key reason for their arrivals, emphasizing Manchester United\u2019s enduring draw in attracting talent despite recent challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
