RB Salzburg propose ridiculous swap deal to Manchester United for Benjamin Sesko

Tweeting through their official account, RB Salzburg have proposed a ridiculous swap deal to Manchester United for target striker Benjamin Sesko asking for 300 million + Bruno Fernandes in return.

It recently emerged that Man United are interested in signing the talented RB Salzburg striker who has been impressing in Austria. The Red Devils are looking to sign a forward who can provide backup to the options we currently have.

As things stand, Man United have Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial as the natural striker options in our squad with Marcus Rashford also capable of playing in that role. The Portuguese superstar’s future at the club is far from certain though.

Anthony Martial has been very impressive in the pre-season under Erik ten Hag, showing what it has to succeed in the Dutch tactician’s system. However, it is too early to say if this will be a long-term thing with Martial often having false starts in the past.

Hence, Man United will be wise in signing a young striker especially if Ronaldo leaves the club. He can provide competition to Martial and push the Frenchman to play the kind of football that we all know he is capable of.

Just 19 years of age, Sesko joined Salzburg from NK Domzale in 2019 and has not looked back since. He is putting up excellent numbers for a player of his age and could be the next big thing to come for Salzburg after Erling Haaland and Karim Adeyemi.

In 36 matches last season, the Slovenian international managed to score 10 goals and provide seven assists across all competitions. If he can continue in the same vein, the future is looking very bright for the striker.

Popular Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that Manchester United are interested in signing the player. Responding to his tweet, Salzburg asked for a swap deal that is in all possibility a troll.

It could be the Austrian club’s way of telling us that Benjamin Sesko is not for sale. The 19-year-old is still a huge part of their plans and it is highly unlikely that we end up signing him this summer as things stand.

Sesko is one for the future. We must keep an eye out for him and he could be a potential transfer target for us in the future.If anything, Salzburg’s tweet should be taken with a pinch of salt.
