Manchester United is expected to finish the signature of striker RB Leipzig Benjamin Sesko today, according to Ben Jacobs.
The Red Devils won the race for Sesko, which had also been targeted by Newcastle this summer, and Arsenal earlier in the window.
The international Slovenia is expected to put a pen on paper on his five -year contract at Old Trafford, while Jacobs also claims that an attacker will be authorized to leave as this new joins.
See below as Jacobs published on X about Rasmus Hojlund made available by Man Utd for costs of only 40 million pounds sterling…
Benjamin Sesko will formalize his move from Manchester United today before being unveiled on Saturday. He will sign a five -year contract.
76.5 million euros + costs of 8.5 million euros. About 5 million euros in additional modules very easily achievable.

Jacobs posted: “Benjamin Sesko will formalize his move from Manchester United today before being unveiled on Saturday. He will sign a five -year contract. 76.5 million euros + 8.5 million euros.
If Hojlund moves for about 40 million pounds sterling, it is a huge loss of the 72 million pounds sterling they paid in Atalanta for him only two years ago, as BBC Sport reported at the time.
Can SESKO give Man United an upgrade on Hojlund?
Sesko looks like the real business – a young powerful and skillful attacker with a great future in the game.
However, the same goes for Hojlund when he was in Atalanta, and it’s just to say that he just couldn’t take the plunge to play for United.
It remains to be seen if Sesko is doing better, with so many better players lately, looking far from their best in MUFC, and sometimes improving after his departure.
Hojlund and Antony among the outings to monitor United
Hojlund will surely leave United soon, while Antony is another player who attracts interest after being made available.
As indicated by Taken into account Earlier in the day, Antony is a target for Benfica on loan, but United wants a permanent sale.
It could be difficult to unload these artists in difficulty after their disappointing performance in Manchester.
