In the wake of Benjamin Sesko’s defection to Newcastle United, Manchester United are turning their attention toward other transfer targets, including a potential hijack of Tottenham’s pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani.
Sesko, who had been heavily linked with the Red Devils despite their lack of European football next season, appears bound for Newcastle after they tabled a substantial offer significantly exceeding RB Leipzig’s asking price. The Slovenian ace’s decision reportedly comes as a surprise turn of events, leading Manchester United to regroup on their frontline options.
United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, now eyes PSG’s Kolo Muani, who is currently in talks with Tottenham. French journalist Santi Aouna reports that while negotiations between PSG and Juventus for Kolo Muani have stagnated, Manchester United and Newcastle watch closely, hoping to capitalise on any potential impasse.
Simultaneously, Manchester United are reportedly ramping up their efforts to secure Barcelona defender Ronaldo Araujo. Spanish outlet Nacional reports that their interest, along with that of AC Milan, has intensified. Both clubs are said to have tabled bids of around €30m (£26m) for the Uruguayan centre-back, who seeks regular first-team football.
As transfer talk swirls, Araujo stands at a crossroads in his career at 26, as Barcelona consider potential sales. The defender, who wishes to avoid another season largely on the bench, weighs his options with interest from multiple clubs, including Tottenham.
For United, fresh challenges emerge as they look to bolster their squad before the upcoming season, keen on reclaiming their place amongst football’s elite.
