Only 3 U19 professionals more expensive
“Fernando, Noah Okafor and I spoke after the game and said we make a really good team. We’re all fast and play well together,” said Benjamin Sesko from Red Bull Salzburg into the microphones of the Austrian reporters after the Bundesliga opening win against Austria Vienna last Friday, alluding to the successful teamwork of the international attacking trio. The 19-year-old Slovenian himself and his two team-mates from Brazil and Switzerland each contributed a goal in the 3-0 win.

Accordingly, the English have been watching the 13-time national player for a long time and have defined Sesko as a possible backup for the offensive should Cristiano Ronaldo, who is almost 20 years his senior, leave the “Red Devils” in the current transfer summer. However, concrete talks with Salzburg have not yet taken place. Just last week there was speculation in the English media about a possible move for the centre-forward to Newcastle after Sesko’s adviser posted photos of the Tyneside on social media. The “Magpies”, who have so far invested 66 million euros in defense and midfield reinforcements, are still looking for an attacker.
Sesko switched from his home country to Red Bull in 2019 for 2.5 million euros and initially spent two seasons on loan with the Salzburg cooperation team FC Liefering. There he was able to increase his market value almost eightfold within two years with 28 goals in 44 games. During his first season for Salzburg he also scored eleven times in all competitions. At Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich, too, the 1.94-meter-tall offensive power has been considered a possible candidate for the gaps in the storm caused by the departure of ex-Salzburg player Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski.
