Salzburg Demand Rp 5.39 Trillion Plus Fernandes from MU for Their Attacker

JAKARTA - Red Bull Salzburg are demanding £300 million plus Bruno Fernandes in response to the joining of Manchester United (MU) in the hunt for their striker Benjamin Sesko. The Red Devils have reportedly shown interest in the 19-year-old with Newcastle United, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, the Daily Mail reports, Tuesday (26/7/2022).

The Austrian club have issued a straight-to-point answer to reports that United are eyeing the Sesko. Sesko is Slovenia's youngest goalscorer and has received widespread praise for his goalscoring abilities.

Sesko scored 10 goals and provided seven assists for Salzburg last season, while he has already scored one goal and assisted one after the opening game of the season. His impressive form has attracted a lot of attention from potential suitors, although the 182-centimeter striker has a contract that runs until 2026 at the Red Bull Arena.

This fact gives Salzburg the ability to charge a hefty fee for Sesko and have done so amid interest from United.

The Red Devils are looking for a new striker as Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford remains unclear. CR7 is not joining his teammates for the pre-season tour and would like to leave Old Trafford if the right offer comes in.

The 37-year-old will discuss his future with manager Erik ten Hag today. It is likely that Sir Alex Ferguson was involved as his car was spotted entering the Manchester United training center in Carrington today along with Ronaldo and his agent's car.

Striker Anthony Martial has enjoyed a fine pre-season, scoring three goals in four games but it remains unclear whether he will be first choice as a centre-forward ahead of the new season.
