Manchester United has completed the signature of striker Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig for an amount of £ 74 million.
The young man, 22, has signed a five -year contract at Old Trafford after choosing the red devils on Newcastle, who also pursued the Slovenia International.
Sesko said, “The story of Manchester United is obviously very special, but what really excites me is the future.
“When we talked about the project, it was clear that everything is running for this team to continue to grow and compete for the largest trophies again soon.
“From the moment I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and the family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to achieve my highest level and fulfill all my ambitions.
“I can’t wait to start learning from Ruben and to connect with my teammates to achieve the success we all know we are able to together.”
Sesko is the third major signing of United summer after Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo’s arrivals, with the three who formed a nine -looking attack under Ruben Amorim next season.
He scored 22 goals and recorded six assists with Bundesliga last season. During the last two seasons, no player under the age of 23 has scored more goals in the five best leagues in Europe.
Newcastle offered a higher transfer fee for the highly valued striker, but made clear his desire to join the Red Devils, who finished 15th at the Premier League last season.
Magpies’ discomfort in the transfer window continue while trying to find a replacement for Alexander Isak Striker Fraining away from the club while looking for a transfer to Liverpool.
The director of football Jason Wilcox said: “Benjamin has a rare combination of electrifying rhythm and the ability to physically dominate defenders, making it one of the most exceptional young talents in world football.
“We have closely followed Benjamin’s career; all our data and data research has concluded that it has the qualities and personality required to prosper at Manchester United.
“Working under the orientation of Ruben and our excellent performance team, Benjamin joins the perfect environment to support him to achieve his world-class potential.
“The desire that all of our new signings have shown to join the club this summer emphasizes the attractiveness and stature of Manchester United, as we continue to build and develop a team capable of challenging the largest honors.”
