Fabrizio Romano dropped his famous three words as Ruben Amorim has his new striker. He says that the deal is worth €76.5m + €8.5m in add-ons with a contract until June 2030.
Christopher Vivell, United's Head of Recruitment played a key role in the deal. He has now completed the hat-trick with Sesko after bringing him to RB Salzburg, then to RB Leipzig and now to Man Utd.
Bro loves Sesko.
I like how fast this deal has moved. More than anything, I feel like a lot of us were worried how long it would take before we heard these three words from Fab. Considering we had to wait 6 weeks for Mbeumo despite him only wanting United - similarly to Sesko - there was a bit of dread that perhaps another long wait was in the offing.
However, that is not to be as just days after hearing that the Slovenian would prefer a move to Old Trafford over St James Park even though Newcastle offered more money to Leipzig and Sesko, we get the 'Here we go.'
The fact that it's happened so fast is a HUGE positive because there may be a chance that the striker could feature in that opening game against Arsenal.
Had he joined later, I doubt he would've had much time to train and then be ready for August 17.
No doubt Ruben Amorim will be smiling as well because we all know that striker was a position that needed massive improvement upon given how poorly we performed up front.
We all know what Sesko is all about and will absolutely bring the excitement. Even someone who did prefer Ollie Watkins, I am ecstatic that we managed to get in a striker of Sesko's quality and potential. At 22 years old, he can have a long future at the club.
Really happy with this deal and hopefully we can see him play next weekend.
Benjamin Sesko, welcome to the greatest club in the world 🤝.
