Man Utd Block Sale of Benjamin Sesko As European Giants Eye Transfer
Manchester United have blocked a possible exit for Benjamin Sesko amid links with a move to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Manchester United have blocked a possible exit for one of their stars this summer, according to TeamTalk, as European teams eye a potential deal in the transfer window.
The Red Devils are keen to strengthen their ranks, following an impressive second-half of the previous season that saw Michael Carrick guide the team back into the Champions League.
The challenge now is to compete in a similar way in the Premier League, while impressing in Europe as well as the domestic cups when they come around.
Not only is the need for quality there, but depth is also a requirement. It will be costly, with high-profile moves for Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes likely to take up much of the budget.
That's where some sales could come in, but Man United are adamant that one in-demand star won't be sold.
One of the stars who is attracting interest is Benjamin Sesko, as TeamTalk reports that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have shown interest in a possible deal for the striker.
Enquiries have been made about the availability of the 23-year-old, but Man United have shown no interest in parting ways with the star this summer.
Both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have used the opportunity to scout the market for possible striker options, due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Julian Alvarez's future.
As such, Sesko has appeared as a player of interest, but Man United are not envisaging a sale after spending over £70 million to land him from RB Leipzig last summer.
It means both Spanish clubs will need to move on, while the Red Devils plan to build their team around the Slovenian international for the future.
After shelling out a huge fee to land Sesko last summer, Man United had to give the star signing some time to get up to speed as he continued to develop.
At such a young age, the striker was always going to need to adjust to the Premier League and the challenges that come with starting regularly for the Red Devils.
Manchester United continue to push for potential signings in the transfer market, with the midfield being a key area of focus.
In the end, Sesko stepped up and banged in 11 league goals, an impressive return for a debut campaign, and there is hope that more is to come in the future.
By the close of the season, many could see the quality he possesses. Bruno Fernandes described him as a "very good" player, and there's hope he could become even better.
That will be a driving factor behind keeping Sesko for years to come. The deal was a long-term one, with the future in mind.
