This week is crucial for Benjamin Šeško’s transfer decision. Manchester United have made contact with his camp, asking for details on deal structure, salary, and project plan. The Red Devils made this move after learning that Newcastle had already presented their offer days earlier.
Newcastle’s management are confident about their proposal. They want Šeško as the key forward in their new attacking setup. The club is prepared to launch a formal bid immediately if the player agrees.
Šeško’s camp have been clear. They want the right sporting project before choosing the next step. His current club RB Leipzig will accept the final decision, but they want clarity before August begins. Both clubs are aware of the timeline and remain in touch with the striker’s agents.
Manchester United are looking to strengthen their front line. The club believes Šeško fits the long-term vision. They are not alone, as several top sides from Germany and Italy have also monitored his availability.
Šeško scored 18 goals last season in all competitions. His pace, physical strength, and positioning in the box have made him one of Europe’s most-watched strikers. Leipzig signed him as a long-term prospect, but his quick development has drawn attention from bigger leagues.
Newcastle are ready to build around him. Their scouting reports rate him highly, and they are offering a defined role in the starting eleven. The player’s entourage appreciates the clear pathway to regular minutes.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are keeping multiple options open. Šeško is on the shortlist, but internal discussions continue on other profiles too. Still, the club has formally asked to be kept in the loop regarding Šeško’s response.
RB Leipzig are not expected to block the move if the fee meets their valuation. The Bundesliga side is calm but open to reinvestment if a major transfer goes through.
Šeško is not rushing the choice. His advisors are evaluating all proposals. A decision is expected shortly as the striker looks to settle his future before the start of the 2025/26 season.
