Man Utd have dismissed reports linking Barcelona with a move to sign their Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško.
Everything you need to know about the Manchester United striker’s plans after reports linked him with Barcelona’s Benjamin Cesc…
- Reports in Spain have suggested that Barcelona have put Cesco on their shortlist this summer as they consider how to replace Robert Lewandowski.
- Julian Alvarez is their top target, but he has yet to agree a deal with Atletico Madrid and could be forced to look elsewhere, with Cisco reportedly an option.
- But United officials laughed off the suggestions and insisted Cisco was not going anywhere. He only joined the club from RB Leipzig last summer for £73 million.
- The 23-year-old scored 11 Premier League goals in his first season at Old Trafford and is ready for a more prominent role. In his second campaign at the club, he is ready for a more prominent role.
- United also have an uneasy relationship with Barcelona after they refused to pay the £26 million option to sign Marcus Rashford while suggesting they would be interested in a cut-price deal.
- The Old Trafford figure has no intention of re-entering talks with the Catalans over Rashford and is not interested in listening to offers for Sesko.
- In fact, there is a desire to advance this summer. United want an experienced striker who can help share the load with Cisco and provide a rotation option.
- It still depends on Joshua Zarkezi’s future. The Netherlands forward joined from Bologna for £36.5 million two years ago but has struggled to make an impact at the club.
- Zerkezi is keen to fight for his place at Old Trafford, but United will listen to offers for him during the summer transfer window.
