Sky: Manchester United is looking for the new No. 9 this summer, and Sesco and Jackson deserve attention

Sky Sports reported that Manchester United is looking for a new No. 9 this summer, and several forwards are on the shortlist.

Leipzig Red Bull striker Cesco was once considered an Arsenal target, but negotiations between the two sides have made no progress and they are now close to signing Yorke. Although Riyadh Crescent was also interested, it failed to make a move in the end. Leipzig allegedly agreed to let the person go if the asking price is met, and the Slovenian international's termination fee ranges from £68 million to £86 million. Manchester United has been paying attention to Sesco's development for many years, and Sky Sports said he deserves to continue to pay attention.

Chelsea's new players Joao Pedro and Drapp seem to be more valued than Nicholas Jackson, and many clubs, including Manchester United, are paying attention to Jackson's situation. He made his debut under current Aston Villa coach Emery when he was in Villarreal, but Villa didn't intend to pursue him. AC Milan is also interested in Jackson, but negotiations by the middleman show that the two sides have different valuations. Milan is also interested in Manchester United's Hoylen and Crystal Palace's Philip Matteta. Chelsea currently does not intend to sell any players, but Jackson still receives attention from multiple teams due to the shortage of forwards. He is currently staying at Stamford Bridge, but everything is likely to change until the transfer window is closed.

Watkins' future has become a topic again this summer, and Arsenal expressed interest in him in January. Although he is 29 years old and his transfer fee will not be as high as Sesco or Yorkez, his strength still attracts the attention of many top clubs. Manchester United has long been interested in him, but has not yet had formal contact. There is no doubt that Watkins can bring quality improvements to any team, but Villa won't let him go easily. He has always been a major player for them.

Manchester United asked Kloe Muani about his situation in January, and then joined Juventus on loan for one season. Paris Saint-Germain and the French striker are Juventus' priority renewal targets this season, but no agreement has been reached so far. As negotiations with Juventus delayed, other clubs have the opportunity to step in, but like other candidates, he is more likely to join a Champions League team.

Nigerian international Osmann was loaned from Naples to Galatasaray in Turkey last season and performed well. Now, Galatasaray has reached an agreement with Naples to pay in three installments for £64.9 million (€75 million) to officially sign him. In addition, the deal includes a clause that Galatasaray will pay a fine to Naples if Osmeon is sold to any Italian club within the next two years.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has developed interest in Swedish striker Yorke, especially after Ruben Amorin coached the team. However, Arsenal is approaching signing the player, and Manchester United is unlikely to take action. Arsenal is believed to have agreed with Portugal Sports on transfer fees, with a fixed transfer fee of £55 million plus an additional £8.5 million in surcharge. The two sides are in final negotiations on the conditions for the payment of the bonus, hoping that Yorke will play in the warm-up match before the season. If the deal is successful, Yorke will face his former coach Amorin in the first round of the Premier League against Manchester United on August 17.
