The work of Manchester United in the transfer star has not yet been done if they seal the signing of RB Leipziger Benjamin Sesko, but still have other points for improvement
The transfer activities of Manchester United can then sign a midfielder after completing a deal for Benjamin Sesko. The Red Devils have agreed to a £ 73.3 million deal with RB Leipzig to sign the striker and beat Newcastle United to his signature.
Sesko will be United's fourth signature of the summer and will join a deal of five years, with £ 66.3 million to be paid in a first fee and the rest available via add-ons. The 22-year-old arrived on Thursday evening with his medical that would take place on Friday while the club completes the move.
The expenditure of United is rising to a possible £ 214 million, but their company may not be ready yet. After supplementing their front line, a midfielder could then stand on the agenda in front of the side.
But sales can be important if the club wants to make a further important edition. United still hopes to facilitate the movements for people like Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia this summer.
So far, the group is not in the first team plans of Ruben Amorim, where the last trio is lent last season and Garnacho fails with the Portuguese coach. United hopes to bring reimbursements for each to improve their profit and sustainability.
At the moment, however, United is still being linked to blockbuster transfers. A goal in midfield seems to be the Brighton star Carlos Baleba.
United made contact with the seagulls via intermediaries to register their interest in Baleba earlier this week. The 21-year-old was signed by Brighton in 2023 for £ 23.2 million.
However, the requirements of the South Coast Side can still be unpleasant. It is said that a price tag of £ 104 million has been placed on the young person.
And United's task is not made easier after the local Rivals Manchester City are also interested. ESPN claims that the manager of City, Pep Guardiola, is an old admirer of Baleba.
The Premier League star would be satisfied to stay in Brighton for a different season with a large money movement in 12 months more likely. So far, no direct contact has been made for Baleba.
When asked about the future of Baleba, Paul Barber of Brighton told BBC Sussex: “We have a great talent, there will always be interest in our players. Manchester United has not had any contact with me.
“So from that point of view, speculation is speculation. We will always try to ensure that we sell our best players at the right time, not just for the player, but for us. If we do that with a player, it is with the view to leave Fabian [Hurzeler] With a very competitive team, whatever happens.
“We don't want to sell our best players. Carlos is a fantastic talent that has for many years for him. We hope he will be here for many years to come. But it is something that, as always, is subjective to the dynamics of the football world that is not always predictable.”
