Written by Han Bing 22-year-old Slovenian center Xie Shikho is the most anticipated new player for Manchester United fans in Xia City. Although Manchester United needs to strengthen the third line, the center is the most urgent one. In the end, Sir Ratcliff did not disappoint the fans. The Red Devils paid a total of more than 90 million euros and successfully defeated Newcastle, which once dominated, and brought Scheshko to the Dream Theater.
On August 7, famous transfer expert Romano and major mainstream media in the UK all determined that RB Leipzig reached an agreement with Manchester United. That night, Seschko arrived in the UK with his agent Barsanovic. On August 8, he underwent a comprehensive medical examination. Manchester United plans to hold a debut ceremony for him at Old Trafford Stadium on Saturday (August 9). Sheshko is in place, which means that the new Red Devils trident in the Amorin era has been assembled.
is the "interception" of Seschko, and on Wednesday, he held a decisive bid with Newcastle. In the last moment, Manchester United raised the offer again - the fixed transfer fee quotation (76.5 million euros) is 3.5 million less than the Magpies, but paid the Bundesliga's 3.5 million euros "Solidarity Mechanism Tax" fee for RB Leipzig, and agreed that a warm-up match between the two sides next summer can bring additional income of 1.5 million to 2 million euros. Together with the 8.5 million euro floating clause that can be basically easily reached, even if it is not considered the secondary transfer share, RB Leipzig's profit maximization can exceed 90 million euros.
In order to facilitate Xiesho's joining, Manchester United paid more, and Xiesho's team also made concessions. Xieschko's weekly salary quote was reduced from 200,000 pounds to 160,000 pounds. Compared with Newcastle's 250,000 pounds offer, Seshko's choice of Manchester United is equivalent to making 4.7 million pounds less each year. At the same time, agent Barsanovic also lowered the commission. Sheshko's weekly salary ranks only 8th in the team, less than half of Casemiro (350,000), less than B fee (300,000 pounds), Mount (250,000 pounds), and even worse than defenders De Ligt (195,000) and Maguire (190,000). Manchester United's new player Cunha (180,000) is also higher than Seshko, while Mbemo (150,000 pounds) is lower than him.
However, if Manchester United qualifies for the Champions League next season, Seschko's weekly salary will rise to 190,000 pounds, more than twice that of the RB Leipzig (86,000).
In this way, Seshko will become the most expensive center in Manchester United's history than Lukaku (84.7 million) eight years ago. The entire Premier League is second only to Ekitic (95 million), Havertz (100 million, 2020) and Lukaku (113 million, 2023), ranking fourth in the Premier League center transfer fee. But some media and fans are worried whether Seshko will become the second Hoylen.
Two years ago, Manchester United introduced Danish high center Hoylen at a sky-high price of 75 million + 10 million euros, but he only made 95 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 26 goals and 6 assists. The floating clause only activated 2.5 million euros after two seasons. At the same time as the introduction of Seschko, Manchester United has reached an agreement with Miran to rent first and then sell Danish center at a loss - Milan will loan it for 5 million euros this summer and buy it out of 40 million euros next summer, with only the players nodding in the transaction.
Compared with Hoylen, Sheschko made 45 appearances in RB Leipzig last season, with 21 goals and 6 assists, averaging 0.6 goals per game. Although he is not very efficient, he is a big player, with goals against Bayern, Dortmund, and Champions League against Atletico Madrid and Juventus. The 1.94-meter height is almost a clone of Haaland. It can serve as a fulcrum to create opportunities for teammates and provide contact points for various passes.
Sheshko is tall but not clumsy. Last season, he had a sprint of 35.69 kilometers per hour, ranking at the top of the Bundesliga. This also allowed him to play an important role in counterattack. Last season, five goals were counterattack goals, helping RB Leipzig become the team with the most counterattack goals in the Bundesliga (17 goals). For the Red Devils, who are not advantageous in the midfield, seizing the counterattack opportunity is the key to the rebound in the new season. Moreover, Seshko scored more than expected in the Bundesliga goals (27 goals) in the past two seasons, proving that his condition is constantly rising.
Given that Xie Shiko is surrounded by Mbemo and Cunha who have been tested by the Premier League, he will receive more support from the wing, which will help integrate into Manchester United more quickly to prove himself.
