&quot: 70 million pounds to Sesco! Why did Manchester United say no to Vlahovic? The inside story of the transfer is exposed "

Original title; Manchester United's forward signings choose one of two: bet on new star Cesco, neglecting Vlahovic

August 5, reported that Manchester United's forward strengthening plan this summer seems to have been locked on the young scorer Benjamin Sesco of Leipzig Red Bull.

Although Juventus striker Vlahovic has been recommended to the Red Devils in recent days, Manchester United's response is straightforward, and they are now focusing only on signing Cesco.

This is the second time that Manchester United explicitly rejected Vlahovic, the last time was in mid-July, when Manchester United leaned more towards Brentford's Mbeumo. Although Vlahovic is strong, Manchester United seems to have not had a high interest in him.

On the one hand, Juventus is eager to sell, and the price has dropped to around 40 million euros, and he is even willing to accept the method of loan + forced buyout; on the other hand, Vlahovic's salary requirements (about 200,000 pounds per week) and tactical adaptability may not be fully in line with Manchester United's long-term plan.

In contrast, Cesco is younger (22 years old), runs actively and is in line with Ineos's youthful strategy, although his transfer fee may be as high as £70 million.

However, Manchester United's "Cesco Plan" is not without risks. Newcastle is also fighting for the Slovenian striker and has reached personal terms with the players.

If Manchester United fails to grab players in the end, they may face a passive situation of signing players on the front line. After all, although Vlahovic is not the first choice, as a guaranteed option, the cost-effectiveness is actually good.

And if Cesco joins, Hoylen's future may also be affected. Manchester United tried to sell him but failed, and the problem of the pileup of forward personnel still exists.

Vivi Observation Brief Comment:

The transfer market is changing rapidly, and Manchester United's choice seems firm, but it also hides variables. Cesco represents the future, Vlahovic represents the immediate combat power, and whether the Red Devils can get what they want depends on the progress of the next negotiations. If Cesco loses the battle for the game, will Manchester United look back and consider Vlahovic? Or find another goal? There is still time to close the window, and nothing is possible.
