Sheshko transfer game: The qualification of the giants in Europe becomes a key factor

2:15am, 11 August 2025【Football】

The competition between many Premier League clubs around Slovenian star Benjamin Sheshko has recently ushered in a dramatic turn. It is reported that the transfer negotiations of the Leipzig striker have always been closely related to the qualifications of European competitions, and the player team expressed their concern about the qualifications of the next European competition during negotiations with Arsenal.

Bundesliga powerhouses marked the 22-year-old scorer with a special clause of 80-90 million euros, and this pricing strategy has put many potential buyers in deep trade-offs. Although Arsenal's lasting tracking lasted for several years ended with a strategic shift toward Jekelais, Manchester United took the opportunity to become the most active chaser in the transfer market.

Newcastle United and other competitors are limited by the stagnation of financial terms negotiations, Chelsea's activating Drapp's termination fee has become the trigger point for Manchester United to turn to Sheshko. Club senior Berrada and Wilcox's multiple secret talks during their pre-season US trip ultimately established the Slovenian international's priority signing position.

The cross-season giants' struggles

Aston Villa insisted that Watkins' statement as non-selling products, and Manchester United's brief attention to Zilkerze failed to shake the management's determination. It is worth noting that even before Hoylen joined last year, Old Trafford had an unfinished proposal to introduce Sheshko, and this continued attention added a sense of strategic depth to this transfer.

With the final confirmation of the transfer plan by the Glazer family, the striker who contributed 33 games and 13 goals in the Bundesliga will soon become an important puzzle for the Red Devils to reconstruct the forward line. The comprehensive considerations around the European war qualification, growth expectations and transfer value are still continuing to affect the attack decisions of the wealthy families.
