Lagos, Nigeria – Manchester United don finally sign agreement with RB Leipzig to snatch striker Benjamin Sesko as dem dey prepare for the new season. The deal wey worth €76.5 million (£66.4 million; $89.1 million) no be joke at all but e dey show say United serious about their game.
As per reports, the young striker don get permission to travel for medical tests before him official move to Old Trafford, wey suppose happen soon. The clubs even agree to meet for friendly match later for Leipzig’s Red Bull Arena (no be small ‘friendship goal’ abeg!).
Before this latest twist, Newcastle United don dey pursue Sesko with all their might, offering €82.5 million plus €2.5 million in add-ons. But, like say he no wan enter any wahala, Sesko choose to join Man Utd instead. This choice dey sweet for United fans but wahala for Newcastle wey dey work hard to secure big players this summer.
Last season, Sesko show say him fit deliver, score 21 goals across all competitions for Leipzig, and with a total of 39 goals and 8 assists in just 87 appearances since him join from RB Salzburg. He no just dey shine, e dey shine bright like diamond!
Na so United dey build their front line, after dem don already sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. This level of spending dey make regards for a club wey don spend like say dem get unlimited cash flow. All dis moves don bring United’s summer spending to more than £200 million, no be beans at all!
As per analysis wey go flow from Chris Weatherspoon, e say this kind spending na wetin we don dey expect from Man Utd, especially after Sir Jim Ratcliffe come join the picture. Na dem sabi how to mix financial gymnastics like say dem dey play video games.
While everybody dey celebrate Sesko’s arrival, dem also dey think say this one go raise eyebrow concerning dem current strikers, especially Rasmus Hojlund wey get chance to leave after he never fit deliver the goals like dem expect.
Sesko dey enter Premier League as one of the brightest prospects, but e sure say e go fit manage the pressure wey dey come with wearing that iconic red jersey? Na so we go see am! As him de prepare for medicals, football world dey watch with bated breath.
Sure say anybody wey dey follow this transfer saga go no wan miss what go happen next! Will Newcastle find dem feet back? Or will United continue to flex dem muscles and show say dem no wan slack? The drama just dey unfold!
