…Benjamin Sesko Joins Manchester United in Blockbuster Deal Ahead of 2025/2026 Season.
MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM – The iNews Times | Manchester United have completed the signing of Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to €85 million, including add-ons, as the club reinforces its attack ahead of the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal on Thursday, revealing that United will pay €76.5 million upfront, with an additional €8.5 million in performance-related bonuses. The highly-rated 22-year-old forward has also agreed personal terms on a long-term contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2030.
Sesko, who had long been on the radar of several top European clubs, reportedly informed Leipzig of his desire to join Manchester United earlier in the week. His arrival is seen as a key move by newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim, who is reshaping the squad for the upcoming season.
The Slovenian international is expected to add depth and competition to United’s frontline, which already features Rasmus Højlund and Matheus Cunha. With Amorim known for his attacking football philosophy, Sesko’s versatility and eye for goal could prove pivotal as United look to reclaim domestic and European glory.
While official unveiling is expected in the coming days, Manchester United fans are already celebrating the arrival of one of Europe’s most promising young strikers.
Sesko’s signing marks another major step in the Red Devils’ summer transfer strategy as they aim to rebuild under Amorim, with more additions likely before the transfer window closes.
