The wait is over. The deal is done. And the words every Manchester United fan wanted to hear have finally been spoken — “Here we go!”
According to multiple top-tier sources, including the ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have reached a full agreement with RB Leipzig to sign Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško in a deal worth €80 million plus €5 million in add-ons.
This comes after a first bid of €70m was swiftly rejected last week, forcing United to return with a second, more aggressive offer, which has now been accepted by the Bundesliga side. It’s a bold statement of intent from the Red Devils, who have made Šeško their top striker target under the new INEOS-led sporting structure.
Šeško, just 21 years old, has been tracked by multiple European giants, but it’s United who moved quickest and most decisively. The towering forward has been dubbed “the next Haaland” by some due to his frame, explosive pace, and eye for goal — and now he’s heading to Old Trafford in what is being hailed as a major coup for new boss Ruben Amorim.
Fabrizio Romano took to social media earlier today with his signature confirmation:
“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 erupted with joy online, with many calling this the biggest forward signing since Robin van Persie. The move signals a serious step in the club’s summer rebuild, with Amorim and INEOS showing they’re not here to wait — they’re here to compete.
Šeško’s arrival is expected to be officially announced in the coming days once the medical is complete. Until then, one thing is certain:
The Theatre of Dreams has a new star on its stage — and his name is Benjamin Šeško.
This summer belongs to United. 💥🔴🇸🇮
HERE. WE. GO.‼️
