RB Leipzig are open to negotiations with Manchester United if they receive a fee in the region of \u20ac70m (\u00a360.6M) for Benjamin Sesko.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sesko has been linked with an exit from Leipzig all summer with Arsenal having held talks over a potential deal. The Gunners have since turned their attention to Viktor Gyokeres<\/a>, with a deal agreed with Sporting Lisbon.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s stance has opened up the race for Sesko and Manchester United are among the player\u2019s admirers. Ruben Amorim next wants to bring in a centre-forward, after completing the transfers of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United were the fifth-lowest scorers in the Premier League last season and Amorim wants an athletic forward to complement his new-look attacking options.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sesko has shunned interest from the Saudi Pro League with the 22-year-old keen on a move to England. German outlet BILD<\/a> are now reporting that Leipzig will open negotiations for a fee in the region of \u00a360.6m.<\/p>\n

The Slovenia international is regarded as one of Europe\u2019s most promising u-23 forwards. He has scored 39 goals in 87 games for Leipzig since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg in 2023.<\/p>\n

Last season, he scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga despite a disappointing campaign for Leipzig. The forward is now open to an exit after Leipzig missed out on European football.<\/p>\n

Sesko is one of several options that Manchester United are considering, alongside Aston Villa\u2019s Ollie Watkins and Chelsea\u2019s Nicolas Jackson.<\/p>\n

However, sales may be required to finance a deal for any of those targets. United are currently working to offload Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia.<\/p>\n
