Does Ten Hag even want him?
Arnold & Murtough need to roll out the red carpet with an offer too good to turn down and blow Leipzig out of the water
To be fair, @jb8521 already told us that Murtough has already had discussions.
'The Sesko Kid' 
He will definitely be impressed after last night
RedCafe asks for tier 1 sources - Whitwell delivers
like donkey kong.It’s on
Not sure if it's worth getting excited. They are a small club but they are rich so it's not like they can be bullied into a low ball offer. Would be a good long term option, not sure if he can provide actual depth this year or not but would still go for it.
Given that Frenkie is looking unlikely, Antony impossible due to their price, and nobody else really linked... Could see us stretching a bit to at least get Sesko in. But that stretch could well be 50m.

Exactly !
I could see them accepting 30m, which is what Adeyemi went around for.
Salzburg sold Mane to Southampton and not Leipzig so it can happen if we pay enough I guess.
Different situation though! Haaland left on their terms with Adeyemi planned to take over. Adeyemi left with Sesko planned to take over. Don't see Sesko leaving the same summer as they were planning on him staying. Price shoots up in that case.
Also, is a report from Whitwell worth updating the thread title for?
If this becomes a thing, it’ll obviously be a saga because that’s United
At least it can’t drag on more than a month this time

Is this the shallowest the striker position has been globally?
That there isn't really a world class 25 year old striker to sign, United have to revert to 19 year olds

Also sold Haaland and Adeyemi to Dortmund. Can see Dortmund going for him due to Haller situation.
We can certainly loan him back for the season. 30m is almost as much as their record sale. So, even though they are a part of the Reb Bull setup it's not an insignificant amount for them to turn down I assume.
I choo choo choose you
19 year old with serious potential though
Sign him and loan him back maybe.
Why's everyone so giddy over Whitwell tweet, it seemed like a negative update if anything.
We need a striker and a RW for this season. I’m not sure we have 30m to spend on top for a player we’re going to loan out.
Can we?
If/when Ronaldo leaves it would be nice to have at least one proper striker to rotate with Martial as Rashford needs to stay at the left and Amad looks really unimpressive in that role.
I mean Bayern signed a 17-year-old striker, there's definitely a lack of great strikers available.
Everyone wants to play number 10/AM/Cam these days.
This is genuinely exciting news! I've been a HUGE fan of this guy for a good three or four minutes and I can say with all certainty that he plays football.
Because it at least shows some solid interest
Yep basically said there were talks but Salzburg don’t want to sell. They’d seize the opportunity to fleece us for £70m.
I do want him to stay around with us and be a 2nd choice this season but if Salzburg insist on having him back I wouldn't mind, as long as we can sign him this season before there is any serious from other big clubs.
I found this very hilarious. He looks like he just heard something that was potentially interesting; despite feeling sceptical and having nothing better to do, he sat down, inviting elaboration, fully expecting to hear nothing but ludicrous nonsense.
Agreed. No idea why people are thinking this means we’re signing him. It’s complicated like everyone else we spend months trying to sign and don’t. The Antony tweet update is shite too - it says we don’t intend to sign him FOR NOW - so rather than go and get a much needed alternative we’re going to spend the next 5 weeks hoping Ajax reduce the asking price. It’s Sancho all over again.
Yep that’s definitely not our way. We usually like to spend double and get them after they have a good season.
There was, but we lost out on a bidding war to Liverpool
Actually think Julian Alvarez was the one. Would have been perfect for us but now will be second fiddle to Haaland at Citeh.
Anyone heard Kings of Leon's song "sex on fire?"
could easily change some lyrics and scream yyyyyeeeaahhhhh our Sesko's on fiiiiiirrreeee.
first thing that jumped out to me. Oh and he looks a real decent player

It's because it shows there's more than a passing interest. Prior to that it was just speculation
If you are referring to Nunez, I think he is a very good player who will score lots of goals for Liverpool but he certainly isn't what you call world class. This guy looks like he has world class potential but at this point that's all it is.
Don't know anything about him, but I'm so excited!
