BREAKING NEWS: “HERE WE GO!” – FABRIZIO ROMANO CONFIRMS MANCHESTER UNITED AGREE €85M DEAL TO SIGN BENJAMIN ŠEŠKO

The wait is finally over — and it’s the moment Manchester United fans have been dreaming of all summer. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dropped his signature phrase: “HERE WE GO!” Benjamin Šeško is officially on his way to Old Trafford.

After weeks of speculation and intense negotiations, Manchester United have reached a full agreement with RB Leipzig for the highly sought-after Slovenian striker. The deal is reportedly worth €80 million upfront, with an additional €5 million in performance-based add-ons, taking the total package to €85 million.

The breakthrough came after United’s initial offer of €70 million was swiftly rejected by the Bundesliga side. Not to be deterred, the club returned with an improved bid, one that ultimately satisfied Leipzig and sealed the move. It is a powerful statement of intent from the new INEOS-backed sporting regime and manager Rúben Amorim, who made Šeško his number one striker target.

Šeško, just 21 years old, has been on the radar of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. But it was Manchester United who moved with decisive pace and clarity. Their ambition and determination have now paid off.

Standing at 6’5″, Šeško has drawn frequent comparisons to Erling Haaland due to his imposing physical presence, blistering acceleration, and natural goal-scoring instincts. His style blends raw power with graceful technical ability — making him one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news via social media earlier today, posting:

“Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United, HERE WE GO! Full agreement in place with RB Leipzig for €80m fixed plus €5m add-ons. Personal terms agreed. Medical to be scheduled soon.”

This signing is being viewed as Manchester United’s most significant attacking addition since Robin van Persie in 2012, who famously led the club to a Premier League title. Fans are already buzzing across social media platforms, with many declaring this the beginning of a new era at the Theatre of Dreams.

Šeško’s arrival aligns with United’s strategic push to inject youth, dynamism, and long-term potential into the squad. The deal is also a major vote of confidence in Amorim, whose influence in transfer decisions under the new INEOS structure appears to be growing rapidly.

According to insiders, Šeško has already agreed on personal terms with United, and the only step left is for the medicals to be completed before an official unveiling — likely to take place before the end of the week. The club is planning a grand reveal, possibly at Old Trafford, to welcome its new star.

While some fans might have initially hoped for an experienced striker, the decision to pursue Šeško reflects a long-term vision — one that bets on talent, potential, and hunger over short-term fixes. Amorim is known for his ability to work with young players and develop them into world-class stars — just ask Pedro Gonçalves or Matheus Nunes.

Šeško himself is reportedly thrilled with the move. In a recent interview, he expressed admiration for United’s history and culture, and sources close to the player say he turned down late interest from Bayern Munich to prioritize a move to the Premier League.

With Marcus Rashford struggling for consistency and Anthony Martial’s future all but sealed away from Old Trafford, Šeško is expected to walk straight into the starting XI. His link-up play, movement off the ball, and lethal finishing could be exactly what United have been missing.

United fans will hope that Šeško can quickly adapt to the rigors of English football. The Premier League is unforgiving, but so is the ambition of this new Manchester United project. Under Amorim’s leadership and with INEOS’s backing, this feels like the first big domino in a potentially transformative window.

With this signing, United are sending a clear message to their rivals: they’re no longer in transition — they’re here to compete. And in Benjamin Šeško, they may have found the perfect piece to lead their line for the next decade.

This summer belongs to Manchester United.
HERE. WE. GO.
