Manchester United are getting closer to signing Benjamin Sesko. They have already agreed on personal terms with the Slovenian striker.
This is a big signing for Manchester United as they struggled to score goals in the Premier League. Also, they are looking to part ways with Rasmus Hojlund.
Because of this, they wanted to sign a striker before moving Hojlund on. After Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, signing a striker was the priority for United.
Now, the priority will change. Many believed that after signing the striker, the Red Devils would look to sign a goalkeeper.
However, according to the latest report from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have a different position in mind that they want to fill after signing a striker.
Yes, Manchester United are looking to sign a midfielder. They are already eyeing a move for Douglas Luiz from Juventus. However, Liverpool are also in the race to sign Luiz.
Also, Luis does not fit the age profile Ruben Amorim would like. That is why they are shifting their focus to a Premier League midfielder who has impressed Amorim a lot.
The 21-year-old Carlos Baleba from Brighton is the next Manchester United transfer target. The Red Devils have already made contact with the player’s camp for a possible move.
The next few weeks will be key for the Carlos Baleba to Manchester United transfer deal. Brighton have no plans to part ways with the Cameroonian.
