Reportedly, initial talks have already taken place between the clubs, with Man United also engaging Sesko&rsquo;s representatives.&nbsp;<\/p><p>There&rsquo;s mutual interest, but financial complexity surrounds the deal. At 22, Sesko has currently emerged as United&rsquo;s priority striker target. Red Devils&rsquo; recruitment director Christopher Vivell originally scouted him at Red Bull Salzburg. He is spearheading the approach now with full focus.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Vivell&rsquo;s familiarity with the player has played a key role in driving the move. It has also been why the chase has accelerated in recent days. Chief negotiator Matt Hargreaves reportedly traveled to Germany to meet with Leipzig officials, signaling the seriousness of the Red Devils&rsquo; intentions.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ro\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; &#119809;&#119825;&#119812;&#119808;&#119818;&#119816;&#119821;&#119814;: Manchester United have held concrete talks with Benjamin &Scaron;e&scaron;ko during Leipzig&rsquo;s training camp, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Plettigoal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Plettigoal<\/a> &#128478;&#65039; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QntgjoWBvr\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/QntgjoWBvr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; 433 (@433) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/433\/status\/1950566631790215332?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price Tag and Transfer Structure<\/h2><p>RB Leipzig initially quoted over &euro;80 million to Arsenal earlier in the window.

Manchester United are also exploring creative structures to facilitate the transfer.
