Manchester United fought for 85 million to compete for genius

Manchester United's forward signing plans to sign Cunha and Mbeumo in the transfer market this summer. Now, new coach Amorin is determined to completely transform the team's forward line. Next, they plan to introduce another new striker, targeting Seschko, who is currently playing in Leipzig.

Premier League giants compete for Xie Shiko, 22-year-old Xie Shiko, this summer is definitely a hot commodity for all teams to compete for. Arsenal almost signed him before, but because Leipzig asked for a high price, Arsenal finally signed Dzekelish. Now that Isaac is leaving, Newcastle has set his sights on Sheshko and regards him as Isaac's replacement. Later, Manchester United also joined the competition and wanted to use him to replace Hoylund and Zilkerze. Because there are so many Premier League giants fighting, Xie Shiko's value naturally rises. Previously, Newcastle's first offer reached 75 million euros, and there was a floating clause of 5 million euros, but Leipzig directly refused. Unexpectedly, Newcastle immediately raised its offer, this time it was a fixed transfer fee of 80 million euros, plus an additional clause of 10 million euros. This price has far exceeded the actual value of Seschko (the price of German turnover is only 70 million euros), and it seems that Newcastle really wants him.

Manchester United competed for a lot of money to win Sheshko saw Newcastle bid, Manchester United was also anxious and really fought. According to David Ornstein, Manchester United also gave its own offer, with the amount reaching 85 million euros (75 million euros basic transfer fee + 10 million euros floating clause). Now it depends on how Leipzig and Sheschko decide. However, Manchester United is quite confident. They think that Seschko will choose to go to Old Trafford in the end. Why is Manchester United so desperately robbing Xie Shiko? Mainly because Hoylund and Zilkze really can't do it. Last season, the two of them scored only 7 goals in the Premier League, with 4 in Hoylund and 3 in Zilkerze. With this performance, if Manchester United were at its peak, it would be difficult for them to be substitute. It is obvious that Amorin is not expecting them to suddenly break out in the new season, but rather optimistic about Seschko, so Manchester United will spend a lot of money to sign him.

Manchester United's recruitment dilemma Over the past two seasons, Sheshko has scored 14 goals and 13 goals in the Bundesliga respectively. At 1.95 meters tall, he is regarded by many people as the "most like Haaland", which shows that his potential is really great. Although it may be difficult for him to reach the height of Haaland, the future is still promising, and it is no wonder that Newcastle and Manchester United are competing for him. If Manchester United can successfully sign Sheshko, their investment in signings this summer will definitely exceed 200 million pounds. In this way, they may not have much money to spend in the midfield and goalkeeper position next. The situation in Manchester United's midfield is actually quite embarrassing: Casemiro is no longer possible, and Menu is too young, and only Fernandez and Ugat can be used. The season is long, and such a lineup is obviously not enough, so they do need to introduce a reliable midfielder, but if they spend all their money on the striker, they may not be able to afford it. Besides, Onana's performance has been unstable on the goalkeeper side and always likes to do some fancy moves, which many fans have long been unable to bear. So this summer, Manchester United has repeatedly reported signing Martinez, and even once set its sights on Donnarumma, who failed to renew his contract with Paris. But if they spend all their money on Xie Shiko, the goalkeeper's position may have to be put first. Throughout the summer, Manchester United almost threw their budget on the forward line, which was also the helplessness of the new coach Amorin. Because Manchester United's offense was so bad last season, they hope that new players such as Cunya, Mbeumo, and possibly Seschko can achieve some results in the new season. If none of these people can meet expectations, Manchester United may be in danger of relegation again.
