Benjamin Sesko has already named dream club after Man United transfer update

Benjamin Sesko has already revealed what club he would like to play for amid links to Manchester United.

The 22-year-old’s long-term future remains uncertain after another standout season in Germany, where he finished with 21 goals and six assists in 45 appearances. Sesko was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, before the north Londoners opted to pursue Viktor Gyokeres instead.

That has opened the door for other clubs, including United, to move for the Slovenian striker. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, he has returned to the Reds' radar as they look to sign a new attacker before the season gets underway on August 17.

The Manchester Evening News understands the forward rejected a move to Old Trafford in 2022 - with his agent paying multiple visits to Old Trafford and Carrington since.

Earlier this month, TBR Football reported that Sesko's representatives had been in contact with United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle United. Leipzig are believed to have valued the 22-year-old at €90million (£78m).

However, Sesko has already revealed the club he most wants to play for. "I would love to play for Real Madrid," he said back in December 2023.

"These are big words, but I will try my best, and then we will see where it will take me."

While Sesko is believed to be on United's shortlist, Jacobs notes that 'several targets' are also being considered.

Speaking about his future back in May, Sesko said: "The club has given me a lot and continues to give me a lot every day. It's a great club to develop at.

"I'm currently a player for RB Leipzig, so I'm taking it day by day. If a transfer happens, and if it doesn’t, then it doesn't."

Recently, Sesko dropped his biggest hint yet that he could stay at Leipzig for
