Juventus wants to rescue Benjamin Sesko from his difficult spell at Manchester United, just as the club has attempted with Nick Woltemade this season. The Bianconeri have already taken steps to sign the striker.
Sesko has been on Juventus’s radar for some time, but the Bianconeri could not compete with Manchester United when both teams pursued him. The Red Devils eventually signed him from RB Leipzig, where he had established himself as one of Europe’s most promising forwards.
However, Juventus now believes it has another opportunity to bring Sesko to Turin. The club does not want to miss the chance and is preparing to increase its efforts during the next transfer window.
Juventus following Sesko
Tuttojuve reports that Juventus has been monitoring Sesko’s struggles in the Premier League and has been in contact over a possible move. The Bianconeri want to convince him that joining them would be the best way to revive his career.
Juventus believes Sesko could rediscover the form that made him such a highly sought-after striker at Leipzig. A move to Serie A would give him a fresh start, while the club could provide him with an important role in attack.
The Slovenian may be attracted by the possibility of playing regularly and rebuilding his confidence. Juventus also believes that he still has the qualities required to become a leading forward.

United must approve move
The main obstacle is Manchester United’s position. Juventus would reportedly prefer an initial loan arrangement for the second half of the season, but the Premier League club may be reluctant to allow Sesko to leave.
United paid a substantial fee to sign the striker and still views him as an important player. The club could therefore demand a permanent transfer or refuse to negotiate altogether.
Reports suggest that United values Sesko at around €75 million, a figure Juventus may struggle to meet. The Bianconeri will therefore hope that the player pushes for a move and that United becomes willing to consider a temporary agreement.
