The wait is finally over. The deal is sealed. And Manchester United fans have heard the words they’ve been eagerly anticipating — “Here we go!”
Multiple reputable sources, including the trusted Fabrizio Romano, confirm that Manchester United have struck a full agreement with RB Leipzig to sign Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško. The transfer is valued at €80 million with an additional €5 million in potential bonuses.
United’s initial €70 million bid was rejected last week, prompting a second, more assertive offer that has now been accepted by the German club. This marks a strong statement of intent from the Red Devils, who’ve prioritized Šeško as their main striker target under the club’s new INEOS-led sporting direction.
At just 21, Šeško has attracted interest from top clubs across Europe. However, United acted the fastest and most decisively. Often compared to Erling Haaland for his physicality, blistering speed, and goal-scoring instincts, Šeško is now headed to Old Trafford — a major win for new manager Ruben Amorim.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on social media with his trademark phrase:
“Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United, HERE WE GO! Full agreement in place with RB Leipzig for €80m fixed plus €5m add-ons. Personal terms agreed. Medical to be scheduled soon.”
United fans have taken to social media in celebration, with many calling it the club’s biggest forward signing since Robin van Persie. The move highlights the club’s determined summer rebuild, with Amorim and INEOS making it clear they mean business.
The official announcement is expected soon, pending the completion of the medical. One thing is for sure:
A new star is set to shine at the Theatre of Dreams — Benjamin Šeško.
This summer, it’s Manchester United’s moment. 💥🔴
