Manchester United is delighted to announce that an agreement in principle has been reached with RB Leipzig for the transfer of Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško, 22, in a deal worth €76.5 million plus €8.5 million in add-ons.
Šeško, one of Europe’s most exciting young forwards, has been granted flight clearance and has successfully completed his medical in Manchester. The final stages of the transfer are now underway, with official confirmation expected imminently.
The towering 6'5" striker has impressed with his pace, technical ability, and clinical finishing, netting 18 goals in all competitions last season for Leipzig. His arrival marks a significant step in United’s long-term attacking rebuild under manager Erik ten Hag.
“Benjamin is a player we’ve admired for a long time. His profile fits perfectly with our vision for the future — dynamic, intelligent, and hungry to succeed at the highest level,” said Manchester United’s Director of Football.
Šeško will become the latest addition to United’s forward line, joining the likes of Rasmus Højlund and Marcus Rashford in what promises to be a thrilling new era at Old Trafford.
