British media The National reported that Manchester United is confident of winning the battle for Sesco.
It is reported that Manchester United has offered 75 million euros plus floating terms for 22-year-old Slovenian striker Cesco. Manchester United learned that Cesco hopes to transfer to Old Trafford and looks forward to the final smooth completion of the deal like Mbemon's tug-of-war transfer. Mbemo's former club Brentford had hoped other teams to participate in the bidding, but Manchester United always knew the striker was eager to join Old Trafford, even though he had communicated with other clubs.
Manchester United currently faces Newcastle's competition in the competition for Cesco, and Newcastle has been trying to reach an agreement with Leipzig to put pressure on players and Manchester United. Manchester United believes that their valuation is reasonable, while Newcastle has financial support and can provide qualifications for the Champions League, but since the main striker Isaac may switch to Liverpool, their signings are a bit desperate. Newcastle has missed a series of goals in this transfer window, including Mbemo and Cunha, who also joined Manchester United this summer.
Newcastle may report high prices that Manchester United would not want to match, or Leipzig's asking price is too high, causing Sesco to be unable to complete the transfer this summer. Cesco's current contract will only expire in 2029.
Manchester United still has the ability to offer Cesco after completing two large expenses this summer, thanks to Rashford's loan to Barcelona (which Barcelona bears its full salary), which has improved the team's cash position and compliance with Premier League profits and sustainability rules. In addition, the transfers of Yilanga, A Fei and others this summer have brought about a second transfer share, and the transfer fees of Cunya and Mbemo will be paid in installments, which also alleviates short-term pressure. Since January this year, Manchester United has also reduced its salary expenditures through players loans and cut overall club costs.
Manchester United has tried to sign Sesco three times before. Just last year, he was the team's number one target and was regarded as a high-quality long-term choice. Even at that time, Manchester United estimated his net worth of 75 million euros, but they encountered difficulties in negotiating with the player's agent, and the agent did not want Sesco to switch to England when he was too young. They believe that if Sesco continues to perform well in Germany, Manchester United will bring more profits when they return to the purchase in the future. Now two English teams bid for him, which may prove that their judgment was correct at the time.
