Man Utd Could've Signed £67m Forward for Just £20m Before Sesko Move

Manchester United could have reportedly signed a £67 million striker for just £20 million before setting their sights on Benjamin Sesko.

During the summer transfer window, it was well documented that United were looking to sign a new striker.

Ruben Amorim wanted more firepower up top after Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to impress.

The likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Liam Delap, Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak were all linked with United, but the Red Devils eventually settled on Sesko.

United splashed out £74 million to beat Newcastle to the 22-year-old Slovenian international's signature.

However, it has since emerged that United could've signed Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic for just £20 million.

Back in July, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claimed that United were offered the chance to sign Vlahovic.

As per TBR Football, he said: "The player was offered to Manchester United. That’s why we had some stories and rumours. Vlahovic has been offered to Man United because he has to leave Juventus. It’s time for him to go and leave Juventus."

Now, it has been reported by TBR Football that Juventus were ready to part ways with the Serbian, who originally joined for nearly £67 million, for just £20 million.

The report read: "TBR Football understand Juventus were willing to sell Vlahovic for just £20m – a huge loss on the £66.6m they spent to sign him from Fiorentina back in January 2022."

However, after they failed to secure the signature of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint Germain, Juventus decided to keep Vlahovic.

So far in the 25/26 season, Vlahovic has managed two goals in as many Serie A matches as Juventus sit second in the table, trailing to Napoli only on goal difference.

Igor Tudor's men will be back in Serie A action on Saturday afternoon when they take on rivals Inter Milan at the Allianz Stadium.
