Benjamin Sesko is one of the candidates to reinforce Barça's attack. However, Manchester United have presented themselves as a tough rival in the 'bidding'

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona are still analysing the different options that make up the 'casting' for the centre forward. Robert Lewandowski's contract expires in 2026 and the Blaugrana club intend to 'cover their backs' in the face of the more than probable departure of the Pole, who at that time would be 38 years old.

For this reason, in the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou they have set their sights on several scorers who can take over from the Warsaw star, who is being one of the key figures of the team this season. The big dream is Erling Haaland, but the difficulties that his operation presents force the institution to take into account different alternatives, with Benjamin Sesko being one of these.

The Premier League, great 'rival' in the signing of Sesko

The young 'crack' of RB Leipzig has taken a step forward this season and, at 21 years old, has already registered 6 goals and 3 assists in the first games of the 24/25. A performance that has caught the attention not only of Barça, but also of the Premier League's big clubs. Various reports claimed that Arsenal would be willing to pay up to 75 million euros for his transfer, and now Manchester United would be the latest to join the bidding.

According to the 'Daily Mail', the Red Devils, whose terrifying start to the season has exposed the team's shortcomings in attack, are already looking for possible reinforcements for next season and the Slovakian would be gaining many points at Old Trafford.

A 'breakthrough' that could cause problems for the Catalans, since the Mancunians are known for disbursing large amounts on their market desires. However, it will be the player who has the last word on his possible departure from Leipzig and, if the sporting project is prioritized over the economic, few teams can offer the immediate successes that are expected in Barcelona with Hansi Flick at the helm.
