Manchester United Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Bundesliga Striker: Good Choice For Amorim?
Sesko enjoyed a decent run of form at the German club in the previous campaign when he put in a lot of eye-catching displays for them in the Bundesliga. The 22-year-old scored 21 times and picked up six assists in 45 matches for RB Leipzig last season across all competitions.
The Slovenia international gave a good account of himself in the final third based on his average of 2.5 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. He kept 43.9% of his attempts on target. However, Sesko has to figure out a way to improve his ball distribution after completing just 67.6% of his attempted passes in the German first division (stats via fbref.com).
His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2029. Hence, it won't be easy for Man United to get a deal over the line for him this off-season.
Is Sesko A Good Choice For Manchester United?
Sesko can create a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.
The Slovenian talent has proven himself to be a lethal finisher in the Bundesliga. Standing at 1.95m, Sesko is a towering presence in the final third but needs to work on improving his link-up play up top.
We can expect Sesko to add more firepower to Man United boss Ruben Amorim's attack. He is good enough to secure a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club next season.
At 22, Sesko has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Therefore, he would be a decent choice for the Red Devils to consider in this summer transfer window. However, Amorim has to be patient with his development before he can get the best out of Sesko at Old Trafford.

Barcelona coaching staff highly impressed by new signing's physical condition
Barcelona fans are still awaiting the official announcement from the club regarding the signing of Marcus Rashford. The Englishman has already joined the Barcelona training camp after completing his medical, though, where the club coaches have had the chance to take a closer look at the player and what he can offer to the team. Barcelona coach impressed by Rashford's physique According to El Chiringuito, the Barcelona coaches were left mightily impressed by Rashford's physical condition after he arrived in the city. The report adds that the Manchester United striker has worked all summer to fulfil his dream of playing for Barça. Therefore, he has trained quite hard over the past few months. This has led to Rashford reaching peak physical condition, even as the forward struggles with a hint of injury ahead of the transfer. The Barcelona coaches particularly pointed out Rashford's strong muscle build, which is indicative of his strong physical core. Marcus Rashford announcement is just around the corner (Photo by) The Englishman's physique should go a long way in helping Barcelona add more variety to the frontline, considering the fact that most attackers at their disposal are more technically gifted. Rashford can, therefore, add more physicality and tenacity in the final third, especially when Barcelona need to break down a deep defensive line. Moreover, the Man United attacker's versatility, with the player being able to operate both centrally and out wide, could be hugely helpful for coach Hansi Flick as he slowly looks to reduce the reliance on main striker Robert Lewandowski. It will be interesting to see how Flick juggles Rashford and Ferran Torres, two players who are likely to serve as backups despite what they can bring to the table next season.

Two La Liga clubs come forward for Liverpool star
Liverpool look set to sanction several departures before the end of the summer transfer window. We could see Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez go - as well as Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton, Ben Doak and Federico Chiesa. While the club would prefer to hold on to Ibrahima Konate, they may be forced into a sale if he doesn't sign a new contract. The club also have the option of conducting some outbound loan moves. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now This would serve the purpose of providing first-team football for some youth and fringe players who might still be a little way off joining Arne Slot's team on a regular basis. Among this contingent are potentially Owen Beck, James McConnell and Jayden Danns. Interest has been expressed from within the Premier League and Championship for those players - and one more Liverpool midfielder is firmly on the radar in Spain. Valencia and Celta come forward for Bajcetic Stefan Bajcetic, 20, was loaned out twice last season - first to RB Leipzig and then to Las Palmas. Although the Spain under-21 international couldn't help the Canary Island side stave off relegation, he did enough to merit interest from several LaLiga clubs. One of which is Valencia, as documented in a report from GOL Digital. They would like Bajcetic on loan but the possibility of a permanent deal further down the line hasn't been ruled out. And the same publication suggests Celta Vigo are STRONGLY interested in bringing Bajcetic back to Galicia. Bajcetic 'set to join' Celta 'Bajcetic is reportedly set to join Celta Vigo on loan, in a move authorized by the Reds,' a report reads on GOL Digital. 'Since the Galician midfielder arrived at Anfield, he has been loaned out twice. The first was last summer, when he signed with RB Salzburg. 'He then signed with the Canary Islands side in the winter transfer window. 'Thus, the 20-year-old center is preparing for his third loan spell, this time at Balaídos.' © IMAGO - Stefan Bajcetic Liverpool
