In a major development on the transfer front, Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško has reached a full agreement on personal terms with Manchester United, marking a significant step forward in what could become one of the summer’s biggest signings.
Sources close to the player confirmed that Šeško has accepted a contract that would keep him at Old Trafford until June 2030, solidifying his desire to don the iconic red shirt.
This follows reports earlier this week indicating United had emerged as his clear destination of choice.
What’s particularly telling is that Šeško has not shown the same level of commitment to any other club, despite widespread interest from top teams across Europe.
Insiders suggest his preference for Manchester United has been “clear and consistent,” with the 21-year-old forward reportedly excited by the club’s vision and long-term project under Erik ten Hag.
While personal terms are now locked in, the deal is not yet finalized.
Negotiations between Manchester United and RB Leipzig are ongoing, with the Bundesliga club holding firm on their valuation.

Leipzig are understood to be demanding a higher fee before sanctioning Šeško’s departure.
The Premier League giants remain confident, however, and talks are progressing.
United are expected to push forward in the coming days to strike an agreement with Leipzig and secure the services of one of Europe’s most promising young strikers.
Šeško, who has been compared to Erling Haaland for his physicality and clinical finishing, scored 18 goals in all competitions last season and continues to attract headlines with his rapid development.
