Man Utd 'strike agreement' to sign Leipzig striker | OneFootball

Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle with RB Leipzig to sign striker Benjamin Šeško in a blockbuster €85 million deal, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein.

The 22-year-old forward, who has been a standout performer for Leipzig and the Slovenian national team, will cost €76.5m upfront, with an additional €8.5m in performance-based add-ons due.

Šeško has been given the green light to fly to Manchester and undergo a medical ahead of the official completion of the move.

The deal comes after heavy interest from several top clubs, with Newcastle United reportedly offering more but reports suggest Šeško favoured a move to Old Trafford, believing in the club's project and the direction they are taking.

Šeško is expected to be unveiled before United’s Premier League opener at Old Trafford this weekend.
