      But the Red Bull Salzburg star has instead completed a switch to sister-club RB Leipzig.
      The 6ft 4ins Slovenian signed a five-year contract with the German club which takes effect from July 1 2023 and runs until 2028.
      He will spend this season with Salzburg and then make the switch to the Bundesliga at the end of the campaign.
      Sesko – who managed 11 goals and six assists in 12 matches last term – said: “RB Leipzig is one of the top clubs in Germany and is gradually establishing itself among the best teams in Europe.

      “A special success story was written here in just a few years – and I would like to help shape it in the future.
      “The club’s focus on young players and playing attractive, attacking football suits me perfectly. 
      “The city, the stadium and the entire infrastructure at RB Leipzig have convinced me – in addition to the many good discussions with the club officials – that the step to Leipzig is absolutely the right one. 
      “But now my focus is entirely on the season in Salzburg, in which I want to develop further and be as successful as possible.”

      The Sesko deal comes in the week RB Leipzig are expected to complete the transfer return of Timo Werner back to the Red Bull Arena.
      But it comes as another bitter blow to Erik ten Hag and his summer transfer overhaul plans.
      United have signed Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia in the current window.
      However, their list of failed transfer attempts is far longer.
      The club missed out on Frenkie de Jong and Antony despite long pursuits.

      They were also linked with Darwin Nunez, Robert Lewandowski, Jurrien Timber, Leroy Sane, Kalvin Phillips and Malcolm Ebiowei but all of them snubbed the chance to move to Old Trafford.
      They’ve even failed with an attempt to sign former Stoke and West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic after Bologna rejected their opening bid. More

      Sesko, 19, has been identified as a key target, although United chiefs have baulked at RB Salzburg’s £55million valuation.

      He is set to undergo a medical with the Bundesliga side this week, although won’t move there until 2023.

      In four years at RB Leipzig he scored 90 goals and laid on 40 assists.
      Meanwhile, Man United fielded Christian Eriksen as a false nine for their Prem opener against Brighton.
      The experiment didn’t work, with wantaway forward Ronaldo eventually coming on in the 2-1 defeat.
      Anthony Martial is missing with a knee injury, while Edinson Cavani left at the end of last season.

      But having seen him flop at Stamford Bridge, the West Londoners have decided to sell him back at a near-£30m loss.
      According to Sky Sports News, the fee will be around £25.3m plus add-ons.
      Werner, 26, was not involved as Thomas Tuchel’s side beat Everton 1-0 in their Prem opener on Saturday.
      He made 89 appearances for the Blues in total, netting just 23 goals.

      Last season he scored just four in the Prem, although he did bag a goal and an assist in the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
      Werner enjoyed a far more prolific spell in Germany prior to signing for the Blues.
      He scored 90 goals and laid on 40 assists in four years with RB Leipzig.
      In his most recent Bundesliga season he scored an amazing 28 strikes in 34 appearances.

      Werner is the second high-profile forward to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
      The Blues shunted Romelu Lukaku out on loan to Inter Milan, just a year after shelling out £97.5m to re-sign him.
      Tuchel started with Kai Havertz up front at the weekend, with Armando Broja coming on from the bench after returning from Southampton.

      The German Blues boss admitted last week that Chelsea stars believe their No9 shirt is cursed – after it was most recently worn by Lukaku.
      He said: “It’s cursed, it’s cursed — people tell me it’s cursed.
      “It’s not the case we are leaving it open for tactical reasons, for players to come in and take it.
      “There was not a big demand for No 9, like when players sometimes want to change numbers. Surprisingly, nobody wants to touch it.

      “Everybody who has been at the club longer than me tells me, ‘Ah, you know, he had the nine and he did not score… and he had the nine and also did not score’.
      “So we now have a moment where nobody wants to touch the number nine. I’m superstitious, I can understand why players maybe don’t touch it and have other preferences.” More

      The winger proved he means business in Bavaria as he scored on his league bow and helped the German champions demolish Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 at the Deutsche Bank Park.
      The Senegal international bagged Bayern’s third goal after just 29 minutes when former Arsenal ace Serge Gnabry set him up for a clinical header inside the area.
      Bayern dominated throughout the entire game and opened the scoring in the fifth minute through Joshua Kimmich before Benjamin Pavard doubled their lead just five minutes later.
      Mane’s header put the game to bed before Jamal Musiala and Gnabry’s goal on 35 and 43 minutes respectively sent Julian Nagelsmann’s men back to the dressing room with a five-goal lead.

      Overall Lewandowski scored an incredible 344 goals in 375 matches at the Bavarian side.
      The 33-year-old forced a move to Barcelona and despite his successes at the Bundesliga champions he is now very unpopular.
      On his way out he was heckled by Bayern fans who shouted “Hala Madrid” at him, the chant sung by fans of Barca’s rivals Real Madrid.
      He also made headlines recently blasting his former club for lying about his transfer.

      Lewandowski made claims of “bulls**t” and said there was “a lot of politics” involved in the club trying to explain to fans why he wanted to leave.
      There was speculation of a fall-out with team-mates as he “hardly spoke” to them after declaring he wanted out.
      However his official goodbye was more amicable, thanking Bayern and hugging manager Julian Nagelsmann.
      He described his time at Bayern saying: “These eight years were special and you don’t forget that. I had a great time in Munich.”
      Since arriving at Barca, Lewandowski has already taken the No9 shirt from Memphis Depay but has reportedly taken a pay cut to seal the switch. More

      Speaking on ITV while covering Jurgen Klopp’s side 3-1 win in the Community Shield final over Man City, Keane took a swipe at the Senegalese winger.
      He said: “Who’s that, Mane?”
      Clearly the outspoken Irishman thinks Liverpool will not miss their former player too much having strengthened their attack this year with Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
      The Uruguyan striker, Nunez, has pressure on his shoulders following an £85million move from Benfica.

warning, Mendes ‘pushing for Ronaldo exit’, Xavi wants Messi back
      But after netting his first goal for the club versus City, Keane is confident he can shine at Anfield.
      He said: “It’s about getting that first goal under belt. [He’s] up and running.”
      Nunez has big shoes to fill in replacing Mane as part of Liverpool’s front three after the 30-year-old won six trophies at the club scoring 120 goals.
      But signs are positive especially as his pre-season form has been good netting four goals in one match.

      He said: “He’s a brilliant player, he’s outstanding. There was never a doubt about his professionalism, I think the contract is now put to bed.
      “Quality player. He’s fantastic.”
      Salah is not the only player with his contract situation sorted after Diogo Jota put pen to paper on a five-year deal earlier today. More
